I'm very familiar with them. Two tankers were involved one hit the other as it entered a refueling pattern. Neither of the planes were receiving fuel aircraft.
I wondered why they were so close together.
Watch the first few minutes,he gives the details right away,he doesn't drag it out like some do.
Thanks fren. I did not realize that refuel involved two!
The one I hopped back to the States on, was National Guard returning home after a NATO exercise. I was so grateful to finally get on a hop! The cold and jump seats were a bonus! ; )
One is a backup. About 10 of these planes can receive fuel from other tankers,neither of these could do it.
