The brief for a first stab against a 135 was like a horror movie.
Lucky you - a brief! I was just told "It's just like any other tanker" before my first encounter with that BDA abortion... On a live Q-scramble with 8 missiles and 3 tanks as well.....
The boom-bitch kept moving the bloody thing every time I missed - and I couldn't understand a word she was saying in any case. But at least when I finally did make contact after asking "Will you stop moving the damn thing!" the transfer rate was pretty good.
Whereas the KC-10 centreline hose (again without a brief) was a piece of wee wee!
