I have a friend(honestly) that has been searching for working refuellers. We both have AI aircraft that extend their drogues above 5000ft but are not fully functioning refuellers. And are after decent ones.
Cheers for now Myk

I believe the refuelling manoever is done at limited speed isn't it ? Don't you think the Tomcat wings should be more open ?

Thanx for the compliments! I believe it is done at 300 knots? And at 300kts the F14 can handle fully swept wings? Please correct me if i am wrong??

Thank you :-) Still the drougue is too in to the cockpit, and the cats needs to spread their wings :-)
oh well imagine this as a high speed refuelling test :-)

That's not fuel! This is how pilots do the funnel at parties now.
