If only there was a simpler and more efficient way to extend the Super H's range...
Of course this V-22 refuelling stuff is all about the F-35B, and it's interesting that the Corps has become all excited about this rather desperate expedient just after operational pilots got their hands on the wonder jet.
I wonder why? Note how the 450 nm radius (all high altitude) claimed for the B compares to an AV-8B, hi-lo-hi with a rather larger weapon load (3000 lb + a gun pod). See p5, right-hand column, second line...

Maybe the 3:10 to Yuma is the Cluetrain...
