doright Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Can the KC135RE be induced to turn on its refueling boom lights, etc for night refueling, or do you have to use NVGs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENO Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Once you radio the tanker and indicate a need to fuel, (provided you've hailed the proper tanker) the lights go on automatically. If you just fly up to it without contacting it first, it'll fly generally darkened out (from what I've noticed). "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

Well the anti-collision and positioning lights go on, but not the lights in the boom itself or underwing illumination and belly lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk0425 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 They go on in the daylight for me. Never tried night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
