That looks expensive.

I understand refueling to keep planes in air, what about the pilot fatigue and engines long operation usage? how long do fighters stay up?
Nobeliefistrue
We did several 8+ hour missions in Persian Gulf. Refueled 3 or 4 times each mission while patrolling on station.

The balls on these guys! A riddle when refueling mid-air? Thanks for the video link
I wish I could make that go to FP - best thing I've seen all day
Some books (None Braver) lists some commentary - "Swing and a miss!" Or "Welcome to Chevron. Unleaded, Plus, or Supreme today?"
Going to get the book - thanks again
beaubrent
Is it not easier to land the plane?
MarkRavingMad
Only if you've got somewhere to land.
70mustangboss429
Mid-air refueling is actually way more efficient and is often used when the planes can't land(like a bomber loitering over a target/AOR)
BearToof
Yeah; I’d be curious about the cost efficiency of doing all this compared to land/refuel. Of course time constraints are prob the reason
KharnApproves
Can’t always land the plane due to operational requirements
GoodGuyJamie
Not always possible if you have to be somewhere quickly or stay within an area for a prolonged period of time.
Daywalker27
Landing/take off to refuel uses more fuel. Refuelling in the air as tricky as it may seem can be done in 15 minutes

Is that the new KC-46, or is that a KC-10? Can't see enough of the tail to tell, but it seems awfully big, so I'm leaning towards KC-10
justintime170
Definitely a KC-46. The vertical stabilizer would be vertical in the segment that's shown, and the wing-mounted engines are the wrong shape
TheSaucyCrumpet
Nope, KC-30
Stornios
i am actually leaning towards it being a KC-46 (based on the tail end above the boom. But quite hard to tell
gabfid
KC-30. Empennage doesn't taper on the vertical stab side and APU is definitely from the KC-30
Imnotapotatoe
I was wondering the same thing
Have we identified the -18's I'm going along the road they might be Aussie and they might be meeting up with a KC-30
bluesky92
The one with the colorful tail is RAAF F/A-18A Hornet A21-18.
LesLesVegetables
KC-46. As the camera sweeps back from showing the tail it shows no third engine mounted in the vertical fin.
specslen
Definitely not a KC-10
Neither, it's a KC-30
Its a RAAF KC-30. Derived from the Airbus A330 MRTT. Hornet in the gif are also Aussie.

My only experience of this is in DCS, but it requires some amazingly steady flying to pull off even there.

So that's why he smile's so much, when he's running.
Just like how divers use their hands to break the water before splash down a runners erection can cut through thick air currents.
