Air refuelling is the hidden force enabler allowing those countries with this ability to project their airpower around the world. Far from just the process of refuelling aircraft, it has changed the way we have fought wars in the last 70 years with many of the most well-known conflicts being dominated by airpower, which in turn is supported by air refuelling. This is an insight into this unseen side of the military.

Air Refueler crews are hardcore. My grandfather served in the Korean conflict aboard a KB-29 Air Refueler as a Radar technician. I distinctly remember 2 of his tales from his service he told me a few years before he passed. The first one involved him on RTB where he had to crawl to the back of the aircraft on the way back, and they hit some turbulence on landing. KB-29's had their ball turrets stripped from the aircraft to lighten the aircraft and there was just a big hole in the aircraft where it was. Due to the turbulence he had fallen part way out of the aircraft and was hanging from the opening by his elbows. The other harrowing experience he told me about wasn't in the air actually, but on the ground. KB-29's still didn't have the whole grounding the aircraft from ESD thing sorted yet and had a nasty habit of spontaneously combusting due to that. So one day he came in to go fly, and he was checked out by a nurse before the flight. He had come down with the flu, but still wanted to fly. However, the nurse said he was too sick and told him to go on back to the barracks. On the jeep ride back he saw his flight take off and suddenly explode just after it left the ground. All hands were lost, and he could have been one of them. My grandfather would later go on to work on the Apollo Program as a contract Aerospace Engineer and some of the stuff he worked on is still on the moon.

Didn't know the B-2 story, never heard about their use but damn that first crew had good endurance!

@AnonymousFreakYT 4 года назад

The most ridiculous endurance story is the US bombing of Libya in the '80s. No mainland European country would let the US fly over their country, but the UK was where the attack was launched from. The SR-71 spy planes were used to scout and verify the mission. They flew 3 spy flights during the attack. One flew before the bombing, one immediately after, one a bit later (after the smoke had cleared) to confirm. There were two crews - one flew the first and last, a different crew flew the middle mission. The "pre-bombing" crew took off *AFTER* the bombers took off. They flew around the tip of Spain, up the Med, scouted the target, flew back, landed, had their film taken out and quickly analyzed so details could be relayed to the (still en-route) bombers. They then rested while their plane was refueled and prepared for their "after the bombing" flight. Then they took off, flew the "verify we hit the targets" pass, again, around the tip of Spain and up the Med, then back out the same way. They passed the bombers on their way back. So the SR-71 crew flew two complete missions, with a rest in between, in less time than the bombers flew their single bombing run.

@prophetsspaceengineering2913 4 года назад

The US is very hesitant to land a B2 outside their country. Any landing abroad could mean that somebody briefly detects it, which could give away clues on how to identify it during an actual attack. The B2 is pretty much the single best option to take out airfields and anti-air assets right before a major operation. They flew into some of the most well-defended airspaces in the world to take out some of the most effective defenses there are. It's hard to overestimate their value and the importance of secrecy in that case.

@skizzik121 4 года назад

I see the B2s damn near daily, they are also in the air national guard here in Missouri. Fun fact, Missouri ANG is nuclear capable and would likely be the force tasked to deploy domestic nuclear strike if ever called for

@mickeyg7219 4 года назад

@@prophetsspaceengineering2913 I think it has more to do with the lack of climate-controlled hangars in allied nations. Unlike newer stealth aircraft like the F-35, the B-2's radar-absorbent material is more superficial and not as durable, the RAM have to be reapplied more often. The B-2 wasn't designed for a SEAD mission, but rather "open up" a gap in the air defense with its stealth, so that it can destroy the target protected by the anti-air defense. Electronic warfare aircraft is the backbone of the SEAD operation.

It's a special kind of feeling taking off over the ocean knowing you don't have enough gas to cross it. The water is not where I want to end up, so it all hangs on a 20 year old enlisted boomer staring 25 ft away from a 26 year old officer pilot, and doing a perfect job.

Excellent video. As a former Boom Operator on the KC-135 out of Grand Forks AFB (912th ARS) I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. The story about the F-111 over Vietnam is one we're told early on in flight training. And despite all of the program issues with the KC-46 most fliers are still excited about it. The 135 fleet has been faithful but was extremely old even before I flew on them 13 years ago.

@mississippirebel1409 4 года назад

Yuck Foutube - The US has world's largest air force by a HUGE margin and obviously has the most tankers, so here is a list of the US active tanker fleet. KC-135 - 397 KC-10 Extender - 58 KC-46 Pegasus - 12 (52 on order) KC-130 - 60 That's a total of 527 tankers the US Air Force operates. The US Navy also operates 5 KC-130T and uses the buddy to buddy system with F-18 Super Hornets. If you wanted to compare the UK tanker fleet to the US tanker fleet, the UK has a total of 9 KC-30A Voyagers.

@dragonstormdipro1013 4 года назад

@msgtpauldfreed 4 года назад

I once was on a 13 hour flight in a MC-130P from the UK to Africa. Ditto for the return trip. We were packed with people and equipment (got a waiver to take off at 163000 pounds, normal max takeoff was 155000). Hit tankers twice both ways. We also had to rely on tankers for gas during the mission, because the gas at some of the airfields was contaminated and command didn't want to risk clogging the fuel filters on the engines of our planes and helicopters.

@Markle2k 4 года назад

Erratum: 6:35 Common misconception since the family resemblance is obvious, but the (K)C-135 and the 707 are each separate derivatives of the Boeing 367-80 proof of concept prototype, with the C-135 being the first to enter service. The C-135 is not a 707 in military drag as its fuselage is narrower and shorter than the 707's. The VC-137 is the military VIP transport version of the 707 that served as Air Force One. The E-3 Sentry is based on the 707 as well. And finally, the C-18 is the transport version of the big 707-320B Intercontinental. Interesting side note: the 367-80 is somewhat inspired by the KC-97, the civilian version of which is known as the 367. Boeing originally intended to use the same diameter as the 367's upper fuselage to decrease tooling costs.

Always had a great deal of respect for the tankers, remember some time ago writing some fiction for airline sim game where I flew a bunch of Vickers VC10s (Still the best looking plane ever imho) and had one suffer some nast damage on it's way from Canada to Hawaii. Loosing fuel quickly before they shot of the tank that was leaking it lacked the range to make it back to any base, but seeing story wise these had been ex RAF tankers we didn't bother to remove the receiving end of the refueling operations. So we used that, send a call to the USAF and got her refueled and return safely back to dry land.
