- > Is that a tanker I see? possibly IFR?
- Whoa, now that would make the game cool. I'm just always amazed that nobody
- has thought this would be a nice piece of realism to add to a game. I was
- excited when I saw mention of "tanker tracks" in F153, but dissapointed to
- find out that they are just mission end points, and not actually refueling
- stations. Darn! I'd love to have to refuel at a KA-10 (or maybe a KA-6!)
- before starting a mission. Don't all Navy planes leave the deck mostly
- empty and are forced to refuel immediately after takeoff (I think its so the
- plane is less likely to leak fuel and explode on the flight deck)?
-
- Anyway, in flight refueling is my wish for any future flight sims out there...
