Scott,

 

As Amar said, SOP.

 

I flew the front airplane (KC-135) offloading fuel once a week from 1974 to 1979 for mostly training, but also some flights across the Atlantic ferrying fighters.

🚀 72538] Re: Refueling

 

Hello All,

 

This is SOP, when training flights transfer between tankers. My best in-flight refueling activity was a KC-10 refueling a B-2 bomber over Kansas, while I was on an MD-83 DFW-DTW flight.

 

All the best,

 

Amar

He got a photo with his huge telephoto lens, but it wasn’t until he further enlarged the image on his computer at home that he saw they were connected. To me they appear to be USAF Boeing Pegasus refueling aircraft, but why would one be refueling another?  Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Quite a sight to see when one in out looking for a stray sandhill crane.
