Funny, the KC-135 had to have the loud pedals maxxed out to be able to refuel the SR-71 and the SR-71 still had to worry about stalling. Here we just put the J58 engine on the tankers, problem solved.

The electrician that works for my co was an F-86 pilot and his unit was the one that helped test tanking fast jets and slow KC-29 prop tankers. The B-29 redlined and in a dive, the F-86 just about to fall out of the sky. It was one of the reasons they added the supplemental jets on the KC-97

Now, do the B-52 "hot-lap" fueling when you need to actually BANK the 52 at least 15-20 degrees while TURNING in order to keep both speed and turn radius within set limits. THAT should be fun, considering that B-52 pilots pretty much had to do this with enough plans to ENSURE that they had flights in the air 24/7 for MONTHS at a time during the Cold War.

That's interesting. I've never heard of this. I watched, what I thought, was a really good documentary, it didn't mention about how they refueled or this hot lapping you speak of. The rest of how they kept the B52's up in the air 24/7 , in shifts, was very interesting. I'll be checking out "hot lapping". Appreciate you mentioning this.

If you want difficult, try refuelling from a VC10 or a Tristar at night using an E£D AWACS,,,, the tanker's engine efflux impinges directly onto the AWACS radar ( rotodome)...........oh, and the flying controls on the E3D are piano wire without any power assistance!!!!!

KB-70 Valkyrie for supersonic refueling. I don't think you could refuel from directly below because of the compression lift, and directly behind is a no-go because of the engine arrangement. Probably need an off-center boom (or a pair) out past the engines

With the sensor capability we have today. Design a sensor chute that aligns itself with the probe. The chute will fly itself in alignment with the probe. Taking away the lesson of learning how to refuel. Refueling in storms will no longer be an issue.

A fully fueled Super Hornet with weapon load out is slower than the tanker - even with AB and in contrary to the F-14. The tanker can outrun Hornet. Source: Former F-14A/D and F-18C/D & E/F pilot in an interview.

using autopilot while air refuelling was always frowned upon ( and in many Air Forces, banned) imagine the tanker autopilot following a ground based navigation beacon and you fly directly overhead that beacon,,,,,,, the tanker autopilot would want to carry out a 180 degree turn as the beacon is now behind the tanker!!!!!

For everyone that is impressed, remember that this is only possible in DCS, sonic booms continuesly happen if a plane flies supersonic, its not just one when it reaches that speed, the vibrations of these will shred any plane that tries to fly so close to its wake. So in real life you will NEVER be able to refuel at supersonic speeds
