The Lone Star Aero Club's May speaker was an F-105 pilot. He showed pictures
that he took of other Thuds in his flight as they refueled from a KB-50 over
the Pacific enroute to SE Asia. The Thud had BOTH a probe and a boom
recepticle and was a lead sled even without that extra weight. He said it
was real sport to slow down to the diving speed of the KB-50 to take on
fuel, but they were motivated because it was along swim home. So, Chris, it
could have been worse.
