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.
They could drogue off C-130s (probably a better match speed-wise), but don’t know if they can maneuver back towards centerline for a pic off the back deck as C-130 drogues are offset.
T-37s can't. Then USAF converted some to A-37A for light attack duties in South Vietnam. Later, new-built A-37B added air refueling. Some of those became OA-37B forward air control aircraft, guiding airstrikes.
The A-37 was equipped for Para Drogue aerial refueling and the T-37 wasn't. My question is who took that picture?
ReplyDeleteProbably using boom with the drogue attachment. I've seen that arrangement sometimes when the AF refuels Navy planes.

DeleteChet. Pretty sure it was Chet.
DeleteI wondered! I didn't think T-37s could aerial refuel.

DeleteI didn't know that they could fly fast enough to catch up to a Herc.
ReplyDeleteThat Dragonfly was sipping JP-4 or (in its final years) JP-8. Jet A is for those civilians.
