[QUOTE="Rivethead242, post: 70132, member: 549"] Awesome! I've always wonder how they are able to refuel in air without loosing any gas in the process. That must take some serious skill from the pilot in order to maintain proper speed/elevation etc with the refueling plane. When I was in the Navy my ship did a few UnReps (underway replenishment's; fuel, food, supplies, mail, etc) and let me tell you the level of tension/fear among the leading officers was very high. I am sure these guys have safer/faster break away techniques...but still. Glad that's not my job! You've experienced the Anza Borrego show as well!? The wife and I had quite the show over at Fish Creek at night sometime last year. Few of those guys in the first pic, as well as a few other choppers (no idea which type, but I like to think they were apaches's :smirk:) came through extremely low all blacked out (no lights, whatsoever). Little creepy, but extremely cool at the same time! [/QUOTE]
