Ever wonder what an in flight refueling looked like from the tanker side.

Tomcat or Hornet? And if Hornet did you break the drogue? Heh.

You should be able to tell from the ejection seat. I should put this in the Aviation quiz forum.

Fortunately, I never came back with any drogues. Wasn't easy, but somehow I didn't break my plane or theirs.

I never dealt much with the seats, or Tomcats. The few and far between times they can in it was in, throw someone in the back seat, close the canopy and gone again, unless they blew a tire because of the pressures they ran on ship.

I always thought I was as good as anyone flyin....I couldn't do that....too iffy when thinking about how bad ya could get wrapped up......that chopper.......I'd retire over a line hittin the rotor......by gosh they felt that....and were waitin to see if they were still alive prob, huh?

I always wanted to try it though
