refuel F/A-18 and Farnborough

KC-46 tanker successfully refuels F/A-18

"- EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A U.S. Air Force and Boeing aircrew aboard the KC-46 tanker successfully refueled an F/A-18 fighter jet in flight Feb. 10.

The air refueling was the program's first using the KC-46's hose and drogue system. It took place in the skies over Washington state.

According to Boeing, the flight lasted more than four hours and the tanker's air refueling operator successfully transferred fuel to the F/A-18 at 20,000 feet."

Also what are the odds that Boeing will bring their KC-46 to Farnborough this summer?

cheers
