Chinese New Year: Refueling

If there was something I felt good about this Chinese New Year, is that I've mastered the art of in flight refueling on the sim. Of course, this would not have been the case if not for pointers and valuable lessons given to me by my dearest uncle.

So the end result was:


Taught by an RSAF Colonel. How's that? =D

Don't know what this is all about? Basically, most military aircraft can top up their gas in mid air in order to travel further. Its not like driving up to the gas station, where all you gotta do is stop the car, get out, start the pump, wait and meanwhile look for your credit card.

The gas station is basically a flying 737, or in this case, a KC-10, loaded with fuel. You rendezvous in mid air, 20 000ft (8000 meters or so) above the ground, traveling at more than 300 nautical miles an hour, and fly less than 60 ft (20m) apart from each other. One wrong move, and its a short funeral.


Doesn't look too scary? Look closer.


See the yellow, green and red straw?


Yeap, its connected to THAT.

Man, I gotta show him these pictures. Haha. I'm a good student, what can I say?
