Salute!
Typical
PR photo of 130 refueling choppers.
In actual practice they refuel well clear of the pickup coordinates, sometimes before, but mostly after pickup attempt depending on how close to freindlies.
I escorted a burning Jolly away from an attempted pickup and on one engine he was barely able to fly fast enough for the 130 to refuel him after fire subdued. 130 had flaps down and very high aoa, but got him enuf jp-4 to reach NKP. Survivor captured and I conversed with him years afterward( Acosta - Kansas 01B)....I was Sandy 3 with the backup Jolly, had to scold second Jolly about rushing in. Could not afford two choppers down so we all got together when first Jolly egressed a few miles and lived happily ever afterward.
Gums...
