I have some STILL pics of in-flight refueling when I was on KC135 R back in USAF circa 1990
I'm looking for help all the shrinks have given up on me :o

Mid air re-fueling, no thanks. I've done a little formation flying in light planes, I'll leave the re-fueling stuff to the real experts. Folks that mid-air refuel choppers gotta be NUTS  :o

I watched 4 choppers refuel at the same time flying over my house one time. It was facinating and I thought the same thing as you piney.
