I finally got around to fly a few air-air refueling exercises with the revised system with configurable refueling envelope. I have tested the F-16 using a 3 m envelope and the F-14b using a 10 m envelope (I figured the hose allows a bit more flexibility than the boom - I'm not completely sure about the reality of AAR...).

So - big thanks to Stuart - this is now much better than it used to be. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
