WelshZeCorgi Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 I can do all the probe and drogue ac but not the a10c or the 16. Not 100% sure why.
BuzzU Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 i was able to refuel the Hornet right hand on the stick and left hand on a beer,/ How can you do it without your left hand on the throttle? Buzz
javelina1 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 With all AC that have AAR capabilities, I've managed. Some have taken a bit longer to master than others. But lots of practice regardless.

Icebeat Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I am able to refuel the F-18, it only took a couple of days to learn it. The physics of the basket seems to be a bit unpolished.
Cigar Bear Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I can refuel the Hornet, took a bit of a warm-up (which got a little ugly at first...) but it's all about resisting the urge to overcontrol the stick, and constant small adjustments to the throttles. CB
Tripleshot Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Hornet, no problems. A10, never bothered much as it flies for what, 3 hours without AAR. Stick makes a huge difference. After going from old TM to Warthog T&S, it's like day and night.
Blacksmith Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 I`m fairly confident with the Hornet and Viper now,the Harrier a little less although I can AAR with it I still struggle a bit with the probe being off to my left hand side,but once its plugged in I find it easiest to maintain.Biggest game changer for me doing AAR was getting my VR headset,the entire process became so much easier with that.
veenee Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 F-14 and Harrier are the easiest for me (I don't bother to fly Hornet any more), Hog and 16 I can do but will disconnect, usually more than once. Sent from my SM-T720 using Tapatalk So many modules, so little time... www.mikphotography.com

Cpt Cuckoo Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Not everyone in the real world does air refueling well all the time! An F-35B fighter jet crashed in Imperial County, California after colliding with a KC-130J aircraft on Tuesday afternoon Collision occurred while the F-35B was being refueled by the tanker mid air The F-35B somehow ended up hitting the tanker, causing it to crash to the ground and burst into flames Pilot managed to escape and parachute to safety - he is being treated for injuries KC-130 ended up making an emergency landing in a field near Thermal, California https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8787283/Pilot-crew-F-35-fighter-jet-parachute-safety-colliding-C130-Hercules-aircraft.html
