Great read!  :thumbsup:

I'd like to know more about the hows and whys of the Navy and Air Force's decisions to go their different ways with probe and drogue vs. the boom and receiver. I would bet that would make for a good story.

Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.
