A CV-22 Osprey from Cannon Air Force Base conducts aerial refueling with a KC-10 Extender from Travis Air Force Base while on a training flight on March 7, 2019.
Low level in the osprey looks fun.
Tanking certainly does not. I don’t want to fly anywhere near a gas hose with propellers that big.
Imagine being in the tanker, and the Osprey pilots are freshly converted CH-46 guys who have never tanked and are still coming to terms with flying it in the fixed wing configuration. I’m still amazed we never lost any hoses, and not thru a lack of trying on their part.
Reminds me of the famous CH-53 refueling fail video.
I never got to ride on an Osprey, I think they were just coming online when i got out, but they are a cool looking bird. Really impressive technology.
