Welcome back to the debate Rag.

What tankers? Take your pick - of the 8/9 Voyager we have, to the plethora of US and European tankers available.

Chilled fuel? That issue doesn't seem to be as much of an issue any more. Also, I guarantee fuel out of an airborne AAR platform is cool - as cool as my bar chat. 😎

Quality? Stumped me there so I'll guess: Contaminated fuel affects all platforms, fairly equally. It is tested - you may have had to do this when you serviced aircraft? All I know is that, at the bases where I've served, the fuel was rarely, if ever, below the required spec. A4 Logs POL guys did a very important job in that regard because they knew if they didn't, it affected output.
