HooverPilot said:Good point, the Viking has done the hose multiplier mission to a limited extent, but the Rhino will be better at this. Is this going to be the core of the tanking mission though? I don't think it will, I think it will just be a bennie. The main tanking mission (and the one that will get CAG's attention fastest) will remain being the recovery tanker, and solid hawking with that extra gas that you didn't tell anyone about so you can squirt it to the desperate Hornet before they have to take a swim because they went below ladder is what the ability of a tanker will be judged by. Just my opinion though.![]()
Yeah, I am just waiting for that 5 wet Rhino to launch off the Alert 5 on the last night recovery for the guy who boltered three times and there is no gas airborne.
Did that once in a maxi A-6 (26k of gas) for a Hornet who promptly trapped right behind us. The S-3 had no gas left (bad night) and we were the only jet airborne with the exception of the E-2. Signal "dump Charlie".
