August 1, 201213 yr For those patiently waiting for the military versions to be released, this video should interest you. RAAF B737 Wedgetail aerial refueling. Marty Becker PPL - Instrument Rating
August 1, 201213 yr Boy...that brings back memories! I've been on both ends...the KC-135 side and the receiver end (RC-135). Great video. Thanks for sharing! Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)
August 1, 201213 yr Sick! I was wondering if the US' new P-8's would have this capability. It makes sense the wedgetails would. I bet those pilots would have appreciated those eyebrow windows if they were still around! Patrick Houghton
August 1, 201213 yr I wonder if that's a fuel dump at 1:51. And the engine pods look a little pudgy. Cool vid. Matt Cee
August 1, 201213 yr The P-8's will have the same mid-air refueling capability. That does look like a fuel dump mechanism at 1:51. The extra engine accessory box is for the beefed up electrical generator, I believe.
August 1, 201213 yr Can someone answer me a question real quick; why do they refuel while banking to the left? Does that not just make it harder?

August 1, 201213 yr The are in a holding pattern. Ahhhh!! How could I not have guessed?! :LMAO: Jordan Gregory MOBO: MSI P67A-C45 (B3) CPU: Intel i5-2500K @ 3.8GHz RAM: 8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 @1600MHz GPU: NVIDIA 1GB GTX 560 @ 900MHz CASE: Antec 300 PSU: Rasurbo 650W GaminX HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
August 1, 201213 yr The are in a holding pattern. Hmmmm, interesting. I would have thought this had more to do with the anatomy of (male) pilots. You always learn something in these forums. Bruno PS : Great video !
