Just something different. Some amazing HD video of air to air refueling. Air to air refueling occurs every day and night around the world. Videos of some unusual aircraft too, the osprey for instance, as if like a humming bird taking nectar from a flower... In the first, a HD video of majestic B-52's ('Dr. Strangeloveian')over UK - around 8 min, 22 seconds into the video, see a commercial airliner (Boeing 747) pass several thousand feet below. Another some Swedish Gripen fighters are refueled from a American tanker over the Baltic using the drogue hose system. The last two are of the Thunderbird's wh are snappy and show hows its done. The last is scary, a NATO AWAC nearly collides with the tanker, the AWAC's slips under the tail of the tanker into the slipstream and is almost sucked up into its wake, the AWAC's as to push the nose down in a negative G maneuver to clear. Making your heart leap a few seconds. Steve
