The Scary Process of Refueling US Largest 420 Ton Aircraft in the Sky

420. Nice.

Note Navy drone 502 getting arial refueled!

Man the C5 makes the tanker look like a toy.

[@cruisinguy6024]

The C-5 is a behemoth! That KC-46 fueling it has the same cargo pallet capacity as a C-17 which is impressive in its own right.

hi

[@rarbiart]

refueling blackhawks mid air by KC130 looks for me even more scary due to the rotors near the beam. YMMV.

[@MaMaKyu-d2h]

ok

[@WilliamKennedywmk3]

What plane or drone is that being refueled at the 0:58 timestamp?

[@Jesuslovesyouguyscmon]

X47b

[@kurulusosman7105]

Un missile guidée, ou mieux un missile hypersonique, et hop plus de ravitaillement.

[@GGibert]

"effrayant"???

[@Tod_oMal]

What happens if there is an accident of malfunction with the tanker and the other aircraft cannot be refueled? Is there another tanker on Stand By all the time? Anyone knows that by a chance?

[@GLEX234]

There’s often a cell of two tankers, but every flight where AR is planned there’s a divert option in case of failure to refuel. Usually a military air base. Thats regardless of the number of tankers. I’ve done seven hooks flying an A-10 without external tanks from Lajes to Pease, NH. In the middle we were nearly constantly refueling to be able to fly to a land base in either direction,

@@GLEX234 Thanks!

This whole video is Sunshine at Best. All Air Force personnel are never on a tarmac or in a hanger. All Air Force Aircraft are serviced and maintained by by civilians. Air Force personnel are busy at the golf course, the club, in their condominiums Or in there fine dining facilities. Air Force personnel do not have time to be working on aircraft or on the tarmac. Everything at the Air Force Base is done by civilians. To include cutting grass, cooking meals and fine dining facilities, painting buildings, installing pipes and electrical equipment, to include new and construction of buildings. In the Navy every person does all of that!!! This is why we refer to the Air Force as the Chair Force because they do nothing. Walk on the Navy base and you'll see people doing everything everywhere. Walk on a Air Force Base you will see nobody doing anything!!!!
