FMBluecher Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I can't tell you the number of times I've been on a campaign mission, looking at my fuel gauge, and thinking, "great, I managed my fuel well," only to hear my wingman call "Bingo fuel" and then "Ejecting!" in rapid succession (usually before they can even get to the tanker, if there is one available). I don't think anything too complicated would be required to help, just a quick F10 option to ask for fuel state, and they can just reply with "Two, 6.5" or something like that. They usually don't tell you that there's a problem until it's already too late to fix it. 1

I'm not a real aviator, but, my understanding is that, unless the flight is operating under very strict radio silence, yes, the flight lead usually does do this, which is another reason to add this! 1
