Nowhere in that video did I see the dreaded BWD (boom w/ drouge). Thank you Boeing.

Or the boom w/ drogue, either!! Hard to refuel off and even harder to spell.

Great crew retention tool also, flying new state of the art aircraft instead of old patched up -135's

I might have been seeing things, but it looked like the 76 had MPRS pods on it......?

Dang it! Now I'll be worrying about how to spell in addition to not taking a trophy home with me!

"Ya we're gonna need that basket back"

"Sorry, we lost it on the arrestment on the boat"

Meanwhile, basket sways gently over winners ready room chair.

Not that anyone has ever told me this actually has/had happened.

In the tanker world, It's known as the BDA (Boom Drogue Adapter).

Sorry, thought thats what I remembered from the ATO. One was good (KC-10) and the other instilled a bit of dread @ night (-135 w/ the boom, MPRS were not too shabby)
