• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

RE: B-2 bomber refueling from KC-35

When the 135 fuels a C-5 Galaxy, receiver's sheer size makes for a massive wake around the nose. In order to get close enough to pass gas, the tanker's tail has to get into that air and it causes the tanker to literally fly a few degrees nose-down in order to maintain level flight. It's enough of a lift that you can feel the incline when waling from nose to tail!
