:wavey: Hello
Tonight I was flying Section 8's F-86 around the Hawaiian Islands. I took off behind a 757, so I thought I'd do alittle formation flying. While coming up from behind, I thought, woundn't it be neat to be able to do an in air refueling. The F-86 only has alittle over two hours fuel, less than that if you don't turn that little Transfer pump thingy on. Had to ditch on downwind for Hlio, out of fuel after about an hour, coundn't get it relit. Anyway..Has this been done or is it even possible?

I've seen a few threads that talked about gauges that would do that, but I just assigned a keystroke to the Add Fuel command in the Assignments menu. It adds 25% at a time to the main tanks.
 
Thanks Tom
I just seen the video on VRS's F/A18E, where it does a refueling with a KC-135. Pretty cool. I guess I was just looking for alittle more "game play" than just hitting a button.
