I seem to recall that after pushing the tanker to the end of the bracket still plugged in we were burning his fuel because we were full but the weather was bad in FI. A terse request to poke off was received because they had barely enough fuel to trudge back to ASI. Both aircraft pulled abeam and the navs traded positions before "boomerang airways" headed back. At this point they played a motown tune on the radio...."Do know.. where you're going to...."
Only another 6 hours to go!
