Welcome to an aerial refueling ride-along aboard a US-Navy EA-18G aerial tanking evolution over Iraq. You can see the tanker drogue giving me a little bit of trouble in pre-contact when the jet started turning. I was able to stabilize relatively quickly behind the tanker and make a play for it. I took about 8,000 pounds of gas in twelve minutes.

Fly Navy!
