I would like know more about that in real action war. An inspection after landing is a must. Probably in real emergency situation you can skip that. 

I had the privilege to know and converse with one of the Ukrainian Fulcrum Drivers. In one of chats we had, he described 'day in a life" where he would fly three sorties one after another, with re-arm / refuel and quick visual inspection / BDA check. 

When you imagine all the training, like road strip operations training, it is that in fact - land, grab a bite and off you go for another one!

Exactly the same thing like MiG-21, F-5, F-86 etc. Interesting aircraft to fly with and fight with. Dont be a sissy. People like challenges and I dont think that Fulcrum will be tougher to learn than

Despite the fact that some think that MiG-29 would be incompetetive and thus not popular, the popularity of this thread already prooves that there is a decent interest in the plane

Yup, usually if a plane is kept running there is no need for extensive re-checks as most systems are up and running. No different to aerial refueling in that regard. Of course you'd take a general look for open panels and hatches or potential FOD/BD.

Yes, it is done if it is necessary - not because of inspection specifically but because hot refueling and rearming is more dangerous - the engines can hurt people and everyone is running around with explosive and flammable things.  You're probably also burning more fuel because arming takes time - even air to air missiles are huge and you only have so many people to move them and attach them.

Unfortunately I don't have any useful sources for how it's done or why for you 😞

Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D

I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

I would imagine the refuelling part to take more time than the re-arming for an A2A loadout.
If you only take 4 missiles even quicker.
I am sure all air forces around the world have been training for such contingencies.

P.S. MiG-29 photo of the day, relevant to the discussion.

Hopefully the Devs are looking at that example and building the housing for an NS 430 GPS as a selectable option into their model from release
