Watch One Of Our Foxtrot Alpha Readers Refuel His B-1B Behind A KC-135R
Watch One Of Our Foxtrot Alpha Readers Refuel His B-1B Behind A KC-135R-August 2024

Foxtrot Alpha reader 'B-1 Pilot' sent over this awesome video showing what it is like refueling a B-1B 'Bone' via a KC-135R over Afghanistan. You can see that the first connect resulted in sheet of fuel-spray covering the windscreen, the second worked better.

The hand-eye coordination to make a regular feat like this happen is just bewildering.

Just as a bonus, here is another one of 'B-1 Pilot's' videos showing what cloud surfing in a quarter of a million pound, supersonic swing-wing bomber is like:

A Big thanks to B-1 Pilot for sending us these awesome videos. Keep safe over Afghanistan and please, send more!
