@Kopihucky What I did not notice that im retarded.

@wildcatbungalo Refueling can be conducted over populated areas. Sometimes we fly directly over big cities.
-
@wildcatbungalo it is not prohibited in certain circumstances
-
Anything over 5000 agl, the fuel atomizes. If we have to dump fuel, in the case of an emergency, there is allocated areas designated for fuel dropping, safety and time permitting. The regs could be different in other countries.

@timothyadouglas I think he meant in his experience what aircraft larger than the initial tanker can hook up with it.

@timothyadouglas The refueler was either a KC-135 or KC-10
Just had two planes go over my house that appeared to be refueling.
A couple questions.
The larger plane was behind the smaller plane - can anybody tell me which plane was which?
And, isn't refueling over populated land prohibited?

The plane in front is the refueling tanker. The large plane in this video is a C17 heavy transport aircraft.
As far as refueling over population rules, I don't know. The refueling I witnessed was within a designated area, not over any populated land.

My wife is a County Councilor in Summit County Utah, and they sponsor two Utah National Guard Reservists. The National Guard thanks the employers of their Reservists by allowing them to go on a flight with them. I was lucky enough to go, and take the video sitting next to the boom operator.
