What always puzzled me was that in Air-to-Air Mode, the pilot would see from the Range Indicator how far the tanker was away, but no Bearing information. Sounds like fun in a Lightning with not a lot of endurance...

No problem - he would be having implicit faith in the tanker navigator to give him steers to complete the RV in good time for the Lightning top up
