Kiseki_Yu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi, I have a general question about AAR Why do US Navy (basket) and Air Force (no basket) use different methods for Air-to-Air Refueling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARLAN_ Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The Navy likes sticking their probes into things. The Airforce prefers probes being stuck into them. 6 Virtual CVW-8 - The mission of Virtual Carrier Air Wing EIGHT is to provide its members with an organization committed to presenting an authentic representation of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing operations in training and combat environments based on the real world experience of its real fighter pilots, air intercept controllers, airbosses, and many others.

Solution Swift. Posted February 2, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 2, 2022 Haha the real reason afaik, is USAF have a requirement to fuel large bombers and stuff, so they need the higher flow of the boom and the ability for the receiver to be passive. Where the navy needed something that can be used on a smaller aircraft so that it can be flown organically from the boat. 5 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
