Interesting to hear all the concern about the dangers of over-land refuelling.
About two weeks ago I enjoyed watching a 5-10 min ‘nose-pointing, contest between two F15s. BUT, they were at about 12000ft directly over the centre of Norwich!! They were going at it full on; and at times were very slow. I didn’t see it start, but eventually one (who looked to be winning) bugged out to the East.
I would rather have a hose fall on me than a whole F15!
