And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Just wait until AOC and The Hollowman change aircraft to EV's, that'd make for a lengthy and interesting mid-air recharging. Altho...maybe the entire fuselage could be made from solar panels to maintain battery levels.
Interesting picture. The F-14 used Navy style pardrogue/hose refueling and he doesn't have his refueling probe extended. They didn't use the flying boom Air Force style aerial refueling. For Navy the receiver is male and the tanker is female. The receiver has to hit the basket with the probe. For Air Force it's the opposite and the refuel boom probe has to hit the receptacle on the aircraft. I think you can see a little of the paradrogue below the boom. The KC-135 and KC-10 Tankers can do either. KC130H and KC130J Tankers are Navy/Marine paradrouge style only. The Navy also has a "buddy" paradrogue pod they can put on an F-18 to send up to refuel another F-18. When you're out there in the middle of "Gods Vast Ocean" you need to ready for anything.
