Shaka for the Gas and the AMEX Points! - US Navy EA-18G Aerial Refueling Cockpit View - Fly Navy

Welcome aboard! Today we are collecting on Iran. We are orbiting over the Gulf of Oman in international airspace, just north of Muscat, Oman. Iran was moving some ships in a military exercise and we were tasked with taking a look at what they were doing.

This was a long flight from the boat, so we had to hit a tanker many times. This sortie was high-priority, so we actually were given a dedicated tanker to drag us from the boat to the Gulf of Oman and drag us back after we were complete.

The video starts with the final portion of a stern conversion on a KC-135 Stratotanker. As you can see, we were the only show in town, so we were cleared to join straight into pre contact.

You will see that once my probe is connected to the Iron Maiden, I have to push the hose up to a ninety degree kink to get gas. The easy part is getting it in. The hard part is keeping it there.

Got my gas, but no receipt. Hope I get those AMEX points!

Thanks for the chit chat and the gas, fellas. Enjoy your per diem and runways! Fly Navy.
