Beags,

The guys who were really impressive were the French Jag mates. The Mirage 2000 had a PD radar that would get you in to 160 metres on an unlit target, a very good INAS and an IFF interrogator to help find the tanker and loads of spare thrust and lift when you got there. Apart from TACAN and INAS, the Jags had none of the above, but however claggy the weather and even at night they seemed to find the tanker dead on time every time as you rightly said.
