not bad although the refueling drogue seems to be in the cockpit of the receiving plane.

Jakes can you please tell me if they are fully working refuelling probes that can actually refuel an aircraft in flight. 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.

Jakes, those shots are so cool they gave me the will to fire my Recorder again :)

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??

I'm not too sure anymore, but I think I saw refuelling pictures where the Tomcat had opened wings...

EDIT: look here, google told me :)

Awesome shots. 8-)

Love the color of the cats in the first one. ;)
The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

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  :-)
