So glad they redesigned the fuel delivery system so accidents like these never happen anymore.

BP's getting really creative with its oil spills!

Well atleast it didn't turn out the way it did in the movie Air Force One. That would have been bad...

Probably his glasses fall off, retreats when he sees one Mig, think it are 20.

That's a pilot from southern Italy... All the best pilot of the Italian Air Force come from Northern Italy... Only monkeys come from southern Italy and they really are pizza, spaghetti, mandolino e fuck up the air ref system! ;)

'can't the Frogs, Krauts and Limeys build a plane without having to steal from Boeings hard work and excellent engineering?'

AW Mate.. You only got jet engines and supersonic flight because we owed you a few favours after the war. Your P51 mustang was crap without a Rolls Royce Merlin and your Boeing B17 couldn't carry the same payload as the Avro Lancaster.

BTW we were already using air to air refueling before WWII. That was when Boeing were still making biplanes.

You all need to cut the pilot some slack. I've been plugged in to the tanker dozens of times in a F-4. The hose action in the video indicates a failure of the "take-up" or inertia-reel on the tanker. Just like snapping a rope that's tied to a post, the "sine" wave comes right back and slaps your hand. That's what you see here because of mechanical failure on the part of the tanker, not pilot error.
