Sikorsky CH-53E Inflight Refueling Mishap

This is a quick clip of a Sikorsky CH-53E helicopter conducting a mid-air refueling. The main rotors clip the end of the fueling probe. Bleed air extends the probe for inflight refueling, too much forward cyclic like this and you will chop yours off too!

I wonder what was he worried about most, that they'll probably chew his head for damaging equipment, or that he wouldn't make it to the next stop xD

@architectnic Probably not. They would just either have to turn around or set it down somewhere. They don't refill while they are empty, they leave some in the tank to make sure that if something does go wrong, it's not a total disaster.
