Ana Sayfaya Dön

As a Boom Operator, I'm always struck by how time-consuming air refueling can be—things often move slowly. This video starts off steady, but the potential for danger is ever-present. While not as dramatic as some clips, this breakaway shows just how risky these operations are.

Couple questions. Is it true that you can actually steer the acft. with the boom. Heard a story of a 135 refueling a B52 and boom broke off and the B52 landed looking like a unicorn.

The engines shaking tells me there must be a good amount of chop. Lining that thing up for the boom can't be easy, even harder when getting bumped around. I would have tasted my skivvies at the end though!

The booms not moving much, so it's a very light turbulance if any.

Always wild to see angine nacelles get all wobbly like those there. Aircraft engineering is fun!

Feels like the receiver is a newby in the right seat....clear air, no turn, but it feels like he/she is working really, really hard. At some point the A/C may need to just plug in and go....

Probably correct, he seems a little unsteady on the power, maybe he's new, maybe he hasn't refueled in a while, or maybe the tanker pilot threw him a curve (with a power change.) I've sat in the cockpit in the KC-10 for receiver AR many times, those throttle movements are so small you can't even really tell the pilot is making them, so small I've seen instructors place their hands over a students hands on the throttles so they could feel exactly what the student's doing with the power, and make corrections too when needed.
