    That last one is great with the massive contrails! What's the closest you are in these shots? The camera's zoom is really good but it's probably a lot farther than I think.

    "Contrails"??? Come on, everybody knows that this are some massive chemtrails :D:D:D

    Really an outstanding video that shows the beauty of big planes in their element. Especially the Queen of the Skies!

    Those videos are magical. Thanks, Lou. Not high altitude contrail stuff but the most enjoyable flying that I did was formation stuff with whomever agreed. Never impromptu but with those who were trained or understood the rules. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Aside from water vapor, what is typically the makeup of contrails?

    Take away the altitude, the air speed and the contrails ... and you're left with something like this. It was especially fun at night using the night vision
    goggles. By 'fun' I mean 'challenging.'

    Did lots of no lights, night refueling without NVGs during Desert Storm. Of course, we hit the tanker after one refueling.

    I too have done unaided at night. It is certainly a workload. Much easier with the NOD's

    Some in-flight refuelling videos from YouTube. Impressive stuff...

    As the music plays in the background "Try a Little Tenderness". (Remember Dr. Strangelove?)
