make your own mission with ie an A-10 refueling on an KC-10. (USA Side)
I found the easiest way to practice to make a (very) long straight flightpath for both player en KC-10.
Set the task of the KC-10 to refuelling. To make a serious connectiontime you should give the players plane about half a load of fuel.
Now fly your way with your A10 to the same alt. the KC-10 has. Default would be 2000. Adapt your speed to the speed of the Kc-10 (default about 500). Get closer very gently, keep your alt. steady just below the KC-10. When you reach within 3 NM the KC-10 will confirm visual contact. Keep on closing in. Don't go in too fast or you have to break away and start over again. Nou open your fueldoor, (default R) and keep the refueling boom of the KC-10 in the middle of your hud. Keep on flying till it locks in. Wait for the message of completion and break away and close your refuel door. That's it! ehh.. well after a lot of practise that is. It's not a simple thing to do and it will give a mighty BOOM if you mess up with the KC-10 loaded with fuel. Be advised that other planes have their fueldoors in differtent places! Best way to discover them if you don't know is to open and close it while you circle around with it in external F2 view and go for the sound ;-). GOod luck.

Air to air refueling?
What is you question about Air to Air Refueling?
What primary responsibilities of the Air Force Reserve Components the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard include airlift and air refueling?
The primary responsibilities of the Air Force Reserve Components, including the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard, include providing airlift capabilities and air refueling support. They play a crucial role in transporting personnel, equipment, and supplies during military operations and humanitarian missions. Their air refueling capabilities enable the aerial refueling of aircraft, extending their range and endurance during missions.
How long does it take to fuel a airplane while flying?
30 seconds or so, to fill up a jet fighter from a refueling tanker plane in mid air at 400mph!
What is the longest flight possible?
Due to the possibility of mid-air refueling and planes that can operate with less than half of their engines to allow the others to cool (large planes such as the Boeing 747- Air Force One for example), a flight could, in theory, last indefinitely.
How far can Air Force One travel without refueling?
I t is a Boeing 747 and holds enough fuel to go very far without refueling.
What is the acronym for Air Lock?
The acronym for Air Lock is A/L.
Can an airplane stop for gas?
Some military air craft are capable of refueling in flight
What is the range for a c-130?
The range of a C-130 is 2050 miles without an in air refueling.
Why can't a C-17 reverse air refuel a KC-135?
The C-17 does not have the necessary equipment, such as a receptacle for receiving fuel, to conduct air-to-air refueling with a KC-135. The C-17 is designed to be refueled in flight by aircraft equipped with a boom system, while the KC-135 uses a boom or drogue system to transfer fuel to receiver aircraft. The incompatibility of the refueling systems prevents a C-17 from reverse air refueling from a KC-135.
When was Crisis in Mid-Air created?
