Turbulent Tanking

[alx27]

Soundtrack is awesome! (:

[RichKilla86ers]

I only live 3 miles away from the Youtube HQ in San Bruno (SF suburbs).

[yoyoyoyoshua]

the Tanker in the first vid was a KC-135

[sakis12thasos]

[SuperAviatar]

First inflight refuelling involved a bag of sand on a string! Until one day the bag got stuck in the aileron gap. Next attempt used a water filled balloon as ballast.... Alan Cobham and Helmore. Back in the thirties... no, I wasn't born then!

[pbplaya5]

uhh im getting frustrated just watching this video

[WVBoy25401]

haha the music is perfect!

[pilot7893]

I can barely hold a 15 foot distance formation in FSX. You guys really are pro.

[aaron8862006]

@pilot7893 - That's cause it's FSX... try Lock On: Modern Air Combat!

[VFA103JollyRogers]

why does the navy use a different refuel system than the air force?

[SpiderMack89]

because the air force system is too complicated to be mounted in a carrierborne aircraft

[Raguleader]

@VFA103JollyRogers Back when everybody started using mid-air refueling, they weren't sure which style would stick, so the USAF ended up settling on Boom refueling (cause they could transfer more fuel into big bombers like the B-36 and B-52) and the Navy on Probe and Drogue refueling (because it's simpler to set up). Most of the NATO allies actually use Probe and Drogue for their Air Forces, but the USAF is standardized on Boom since we've used it since the 50's and all of our planes use it.

[AussieDreamChaser]

Great stuff, geez it's dangerous with that fuel spraying out when it didn't seat correctly and then after the tanks full and it releases. The burn of the engine could ignite it, I think they should look at the design.

[harryhaslerx]

Not easy to refuel one of those dirty bastards in the air ;)

[alhazmi2005]

ooH good vid

[owatajrkiam]

Kinda like,...trying to put it in the hole when yer' drunk!!!!

[27Cratos]

Hey America invented the Internet which without none of this shit would exist. So your welcome rest of the world. Bunch of haters

[SoCalJ310]

USA not only created the internet but the Personal Home and Office Computers and Youtube!

Win for the USA!

[jamesmarshall49]

Youtube like most good inventions is AMERICAN. :P And yes YOUTUBE ill be honest... not gona be PC here... YOUTUBE dumbs it down for you guys in your area. :P get used to it. this is how it works.... WE INVENT... you follow.

[Stupidtrain]

Or should I just call you "stupid". I think that's what you were going for there.

[pck3]

that shit is crazy in best of weather

[aznluck]

It would be even more embarrassing to MysticMuffin if he was born here in the states. Lmfao for me to born outside the U.S. would have better understanding about the U.S. than Mystic.

[ayemkonfyoozed]

man that must be annoying lol

[freund111394]

Nice.:D I'm pretty sure this is good flying.X3 Haven't seen too much flying to compare anything to it.XD

[rooroo1988]

hey at least u finally got some fuel!

that was quite amusing though

[kaioshinex2]

Nice flying =)

[yumi327]

I wonder if anybody has ever run out of fuel trying to get the fuel? =X

[jennyrgar]

looks like a mating ritual. like discovery or something

[spankycorkforker]

reminds me of sex with ur mom

[MysticalMuffin]

By th way I'm Sorry for the Language in my recent comments I'll keep it PG.

[christmanpunch]

This is why fighter pilots get paid the big bucks.

[GunDream]

Youtube was created by two American engineers, educated in American universities and now it's owned by Google, an American company. People talk shit about America because it's the best country in the world.

[MysticalMuffin]

Lol. Youtube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim. Steve Chen is Chinese. And Jawed Karim is German. So That means it wasn't founded by "Americans" I'm not dissin America. Just responding to (You, Aznluck, DJ Cruise and Vicram301)Done the research. Im From Florida by the way.

[test957]

LOL Mystical. Just because someone has a German or Chinese background doesn't mean it's time to say it has nothing to do with U.S. It was created in CA. And yes, America is an eclectic mix of various cultures. But were more American than anything. Get a clue. Chad Hurley grew up in Pa. Chen came over at age 8 (a baby), Karim also a baby came to u.s. age 12, and didn't go to college until roughly 22 in Illinois. Making the bulk of his education in America. The company is an American co.

[MysticalMuffin]

Lol. Test957! Did you read the whole conversation? They said it was an all alone American website. Just because they got their education in America does not make everything they make American. They grew up here but were born in different country. Karim and Chen(Germany and China) came to the US and made YouTube with Chad. Making it NOT JUST AMERICAN!!! It had three different people from three different cultures. Making YouTube NOT JUST AN AMERICAN website, Its AN INTERNATIONAL website.

[aznluck]

Hey test957, no need to argue with this idiot Asian. He is an embarrassment to all Asians across the world with his low IQ; we're usually smarter than this chump. He continues to argue that Youtube isn't a American company because the creator wasn't born in American, which means he doesn't want to give credit to the U.S. Hey I wasn't born in the U.S. but after living there for 14 years, I consider myself an proud American. Mystical probably bitter because he didn't pass his U.S. citizen test.

[rinoxyribose]

That's what SHE said.

[aznluck]

all you fuckers should be happy that you're using an "American" website like youtube mother fucker! bitch slap your ugly ass back to the stone age!

[canibaal]

but... you're asian.

[canibaal]

yes it matters, just stfu.

[eboy40]

HAHAHAHAAHA LOL

[specialistdb]

lol i bet that was sso frustrating

[redeyesthe20th]

pilots don't get frustrated ; )

[UJaks]

stick it in the hole damn it

[RacerXGTO]

1:38 Two drop tanks and she's still thirsty???? keep the thumb off the mil power ;-p

[YawnGod]

As interesting as this is, with the music to make it sound all nice and dandy, one should not be distracted from what this video really shows in action; the U.S. military industrial complex. Do you people not realise how pointless air to air refueling is? What a waste of money it is? It's an F-18? Land that shit on a carrier and refuel. But at least that Rolling Stones music makes you oblivious to reality.

[canibaal]

Its so planes can carry a heavier payload for longer distances.

[YawnGod]

Does in air refueling increase the aircraft's combat radius?

[Schlag96]

Yes, and with some aircraft that carry alot of ordnance, they have to take off with less than a full bag of gas and top off in the air. It's also the only way to drag fighters across large bodies of water without landing.

[YawnGod]

Why would they drag *Navy* fighters across large bodies of water without landing? I mean, even a McDonald's' burger flipper knows that sea transport is more cost effective than air. You see the problem here, yes?

[boxer3main]

a ship is slow. suicide bombers are fast.

I never heard a tanker called iron maiden. you silly droguers. maybe if they flew a ship the navy pilots would do better.

[YawnGod]

Man, the excuses you guys come up with.

Oh well.

[Schlag96]

It's not too often, but occasionally the situation presents itself where fighters need to relocate without the help of a ship. In that case, a tanker would be required. Like Air Force guys re-locating overseas or Navy guys going somewhere without a carrier.

[brellnob]

Cause you get there faster if you fly stupid.

[Raguleader]

@YawnGod Sometimes you have something you want to blow up that's just too far away from an area of water you want to take your aircraft carrier into, so you need refueling tankers to help them along. The Air Force tankers have much longer range cause they can carry much more fuel, so many of them are designed to refuel the Navy jets to help them out.

[elmerspooglue]

Oh and you know so much about refueling planes in the air, and the economic costs relative to the benefits of in air refueling it.

[YawnGod]

Mathematics obviously isn't for everyone.

[elmerspooglue]

What are you trying to say? Are you fucking retarded? Seriously? The fuck.

[mhs411]

God Bless the Great, United State's of America.

[canibaal]

Hell yeah "God" Bless all machines of war... wooo hooo.

[Stupidtrain]

And when you're done telling us about the moon perhaps you could tell us about Wernher von Braun. That would be great mmk bye bye.

[vikram301]

ur name is very fitting to you "stupid", may i add, rename urself "INFERIORITY COMPLEX"... its easy to critize a country when ur own country is known for anything or has contributed very little to the world... so thank you for insulting america while using an american website....

[Stupidtrain]

The moon, no what's it like?

[theaggravator]

Reminds me of my honeymoon with my first wife! LOL!

[bacardicoke1]

lmfaooooo

oh mannn

[golf1262]

hahahaha omg hahaha

[strikeeagle345]

@theaggravator LOL

[JPPT1974]

My brother went on one not too long ago. He says that riding with the Blue Angels were really cool.

[utubesuckstube]

The F-18 is fucking sweet and the people who fly it are fuckin ace. Nice vid and great hook up at the end!

[jamesjdm]

please leave the US. people like you are what drove the US into what has happened. you and your pal BUSH need to leave.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Nice job!

5 stars from TheJapanChannel !

Check out our channel too if you have time!

[HarvandHarv]

It took some doing, you did get satisfaction. I know I sure couldn't handle that. I don't see how you can maintain true flight after hook up, have there ever been hose disconnections or tear offs during fuel up? The comic genius,aka the kook.

[joeben81]

Interesting video. Great song choice considering the meaning lol.

[Chiszle]

.. only to take a peak at you national debt.

Aw, thats your theory out of the window.

[akui88]

this would be an awesome video game!

[canibaal]

Ace Combat 1

[ararat123457]

there must be a better way to do this> Are the connecting tips on both ends Magnetized? anybody knows?

[akui88]

ararat123457.

jet fuel + spark (from ur magnets) = HUGE fire ball.

[Slider388]

as akui said, any metal around there would possibly create sparks, so not a good idea...also, magnets could pull the plane in too fast. The current system is actually pretty effective once pilots get the hang of it, but it is a pretty damn challenging flight operation, especially if your fuel is trickling down to nothing at the same time as you're trying to connect.

[TonyFbaby87]

is anybody else turned on? LOL

[legendofwayne]

Awesome vid. 5 stars plus subscribed.

[shinjeh]

its like having sex for the first time :)

[grindavik28]

hehehehe.you are right

[courtdar]

maybe itd be easyer if there was some hair around it

[chispaculpable343]

I understand that pilot so well.

[zuki1899]

lol that looks like two kids having sex for the first time. almost there....miss ok lets take a break and try again.....ok...here goes.....SCORE!!! btw great video i'm just being stupid over here.

[vinkovci]

Splitting atom with meat hacker ^_^

[turbolupo]

cool, after all great job !!!!!!!

keep it up

cheers and peace

[rvd733]

hey turbolupo..... SHUT THE FUCK UP

[bedabug0]

rdv shut it ur lag my vid

[throatkickerr]

dammit, that looks frustrating. haha

[wolfpack1jmb]

And how are all the arguments in the comments coming up? It's a video about a jet trying to refuel from a tanker in turbulence.... People that argue about stuff that have nothing to do with the video in the comment section= FAIL.

[wolfpack1jmb]

Haha I bet that is one of the best jobs in the world. Thank you for what you do, I plan on being in the military myself.

[wwwSexyClowncom]

Looks like fun. Shoot a few rockets into a town for the drama. :)

[brotherjupiter]

Maybe if the navy replaced the basket with a sexy looking blowup doll the pilot could concentrate better.

With male or female dolls for different pilots.

[carranzapz]

going to the moon was usefull?

[neirdo]

AmericanKnowItall1 somehow sums up everything I hate about bloated Americans. A simple yet typical nationalistic fanatic. Not generalizing here. But the example is just stunning. What a retard. I am almost in awe.

[opinion56]

well you are from denmark one of the countries saved by america from the germans. You also cant call anyone a nationalist american just because they say something you do not want to here, in fact he is right. Denmark is a socialist country that hides under the umbrella of protection of the US.

[michaelballack]

Denmark was never saved by the US! lol! they intervene but never actually went to Denmark! this is imperialist side of the americans I really do hate cos they think they saved everyone around the world, such a joke they cant even save them selves!

[opinion56]

America had the largest affect in the western campaign, russia had the largest affect in the east, its only facts.

[memmm2]

it's effect not affect dumbass

[opinion56]

af-ect

1. to act on; produce an effect or change in

[pandakin0808]

If you're going to correct someone for their use of a word at least attempt to use proper punctuation...dumbass

"It's effect - Not 'affect', dumbass"

[michaelballack]

well get them right.

[bedabug0]

man you know denmark aint about shit

[vikram301]

its easy to criticize a country when ur own country isnt known for anything.. so thank you for insulting america while you use an american website...maybe ur country make its own website to bash america???/ or if you think america is so bad, then you should stop using youtube....

[whiskers123]

I am not using an American website, I am using an international website.

[djpuffycube]

says who

[MysticalMuffin]

Youtube is not an American website dumbass. And yes I live in Florida. Youtube is an international website. It changes languages depending on the region you are getting on from.(Location if you didn'd know. Due to the making a fool of your self effect with your comment. Be smart when you are commenting. Not retarded gestures. We don't need to know you're retarded.

[DLCruise]

Holy fuck MysticalMuffin,

I nominate you for dumbass post of the Year!

YouTube IS owned by Google.  Created in America.

Just because they have foreign host sites setup in other countries doesn't make them any less American.

Toyota is STILL Japanese even if they have a dealership in the U.S.

Every comment you anti-Americans make on the American website of an American company on the American-created Internet generates ad revenue for Google, which generates tax $ for the U.S!!!

[MysticalMuffin]

Lol. Dipshits. Youtube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim. Steve Chen is Chinese. And Jawed Karim is German. So That means it wasn't founded by "Americans" I'm not dissin America. Just responding to Dumbasses (You, Aznluck, and Vicram301)Done the research. Terrible Analogy. YouTube(Not made by Americans) to Their "retailers" as Toyota(Japanese) is to Their Reatailers. Ah... Catching the down syndrome. Its ok. I forgive reatards.

[DLCruise]

MysticalMuffin,

I know right now you're confused, you probably have a sad pathetic life...you've never kissed a girl, you probably feel like the World is out to get you.

You blame America for all of your problems.

But don't worry...quit beating yourself up...we're here for you man.

You can get through this...just accept that you live in the greatest country in the World!

[test957]

Hey Muffin, stop lying to everyone and calling them dumbasses. You have some deep need to believe it wasn't created in America. I think you are the retard. Also the 3 founders got all of their eduction in the UNITED STATES. They were only little kids when they lived in other countries. and Hurley grew up in Pennsylvania.

[MysticalMuffin]

I never stated that they did not get their education from Amercan Colleges. Read the comments aznd understand them correctly before responding in a retarded manner. Just because they were little does not change the fact that they were born there. Read the whole conversation and understand them all before you comment and embarrass your self within the YouTube Community. Please and Thank You.

[ayemkonfyoozed]

for an Asian....you're pretty incompetent. The website is American because it's American based. Even if the creators are of different ETHNICITY, they are AMERICANS by nationality. (unless of course they are dual citizens)

PS. Youtube is an American website. It has been localized for other countries so that users can operate, navigate, and communicate in their own language.

That's all I gota say

[aznluck]

Youtube was created in America by a Americans. So is Myspace, facebook, and all that crap...look it up on wikipedia which is also American create website...dipshit arrogant faggot!

[DLCruise]

Goddamn you're a moron MysticalMuffin, When a person incorporates a company in America, it's AN AMERICAN COMPANY. The founders of YouTube were American college educated and created an American company. YouTube = American Google = American MySpace (Tom Anderson) = American Friendster (Jonathan Abrams) = American Apple = American Microsoft = American The Internet = American Kill yourself before you make any more dumbass comments.

[MysticalMuffin]

I'm the Moron?

Just because they went to American colleges doesn't mean the website they make are American.

Heres a Metaphor.

I'm gonna go slow ok. so you can understand.

When parents from different countries. Ex. Germany and China.

Come to America and Give birth in America.(Making it in America.)

Doesn't Make it an all alone American Baby.(Website.)

It was made by different people from different cultures.

Meaning.... YouTube not an all alone AMERCAN website.

[vikram301]

you idiot, its owned by google, which is an AMERICAN company..please stop lying to yourself

so what you're saying is that just because BBC has a BBC America channel, that company is also owned by americans? no, its a british company, just like google is an american company

[michaelballack]

so who gives a fuck boo hoo americans made this website big deal but did they made it to only americans i dont think so moron! and yes they made it in other languages is very stupid to make a company like this and not go world wide cos last time i checked US is not the world! btw if i criticize the US is because is my opinion and i often go there! i dont have a problem with the country just some people that live in it e.g. YOU!

[vikram301]

youtube is an american company..americans get the tax dollars, so thanks for the money!!!

[michaelballack]

oh you welcome, now stop your bitching and get back to Macdonal's trailer boy.

[aznluck]

The fuck is your problem kid? If you don't like the country then get the fuck out. So what if the country have different language? If they want everybody to use it then let them, but don't call it a (different country) company because for one it is a American company, created in America.

[MysticalMuffin]

I Love it how DL Cruise can try and disrespect me like that. Calling me names and testing my knowledge. When all he did was go on Google. Then it takes him 20 minutes to try to think of a come back and then finally log off. Nice try though DL Cruise. I won. No hard feelings. (<---No Sarcasm Intended, Seriously No Hard Feelings.)

[Ictinike]

I hear ya. But know they don't stand for most of us over here...

[SucceedsAtWill]

i'd rather live in a country with a few chubby people along with the most beautiful women in the world; than a country with bad health care, terrible hygene and the ugliest people besides africa

[Chiszle]

Oke, you're from the USA. It's normally a stereo type that says his country has the best looking women. But on top of that, you say you have better health care etc. Let me just point out that Europe generally has cleaner water supply then the states, socialised health care (you proberbly don't know that system) and half your nations top models are foreign.

[snakeinthegrass20]

The fact that you point to the water supply as important, when everyone here drinks bottled anyway.

You mention the immoral system that is socialised medicine which strips doctors of all rights, as a good thing.. when 90% of th world's medical advances comes from US private sector.

And you think that having foreign models is somehow a bad thing, show that you have neither the mind or the soul of an independent, free person i.e an American.

Thanks for reading.

[Chiszle]

Thanks, you're proberbly right, his comment just rubbed me the wrong way. So I did didnt make much of a brain job of commenting.

[SucceedsAtWill]

I'm not talkin about models, just everyday women, not skinny titless cunt bags. Not to mention you just copy our culture and listen to our music (but the stuff is always 5 yearsout of date and you think it is new.) Cleaner water supply??? where do you get that statistic, i believe the US invented the water treatment system as well as holds most the worlds fresh water in our great lakes. Our health care is great and available, your facilities are in the world news for their terrible conditions

[skyman95946]

That would make me pissed.

[deathbecomesu187]

they usually have a fin on the end to stablize the air flow coming off the refuel nozel . Guess this is what's happens when you dont have on of those on . lol

[KillaMooner]

Its like the 1st time I made love

[GerryK61]

KillaMooner

The only person you made love too is your hands.

[drmokedweed000]

ROFL

[olinerd]

Both of my parents were Air Force officers and navigators on KC-135s. My mom said to post the following:

(1) The drogue (basket) is not "flyable". The boom operator only controls deployment and fuel flow and it's up to the Navy pilot to line things up. On a plane with a rigid boom, the boom operator can "fly" it. Only the Navy uses the drogue.

(2) This footage is from two different airframes. The close footage is from a KC-135, and the footage from an on-looking plane is of a KC-10.

[vanadium14]

great footage, thanx

[ChurchHatesTucker]

Isn't the basket 'flyable' to a certain extent? If so, at least one of the tanker's crew is flailing around too.

[Empty89037]

nice.

it's very hard.

[r16inaz]

thats what she said
