SmirkingGerbil Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Just practice!!! Used to take me 20 white knuckle minutes, now down to about 7 min to transfer 9,000 pounds. Still not pro or pretty, but practical on a mission with JTF-191 Squadron (main flight crew, they helped with a lot of suggestions during qual) and on missions.

MAXsenna Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 Still not the prettiest AAR - but no longer whiteknuckle bunched up shoulders for 20 mins!!Oh, you should see me. Not pretty as well, but I'm kinda relaxed on the stick now. Throttle is another matter, but my neck and back are pretty tense. Just filled up my Viper for the first time today. Needed six connects or so.But yesterday I spent 84 minutes in one go in the Hornet, just couldn't get it completely full, so the tanker eventually ran out of gas. It can be really frustrating, especially at first, buy I'm having really fun, and that's the whole point!! Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1
