Not much to add to this majestic video. Just figured I would share with the aircraft enthusiasts.

That has to be the coolest refule video I have ever watched.

Thanks!

Those tolerances on the refuel port door made my pants tight

Damn thing looks like it just floats in the air. Some great engineering there.

Not a problem everyone. I knew you all would appreciate it.

I am surprised Boomer hasn't jumped onto this thread. I'm pretty sure he has refueled these himself.

LEE.

Awesome & Thanks

That has to be nerve racking.

a reply to: Crumbles

Nah. This is nerve wracking.

I've got a question regarding the b2 and it's probably a pointless question. What are the three dark panels just below the cockpit windows .. They just seem to grab my interest for whatever reason I can't describe. Also I love how the refuelling inlet flips over when finished with almost as if it doesn't exist ha nice vid

Now THAT is nerve wrecking damn how close was that to colliding with each other quite surprised there isn't many near misses like this

Air Data Computer input ports. Pitot tubes are RCS magnets, so they put them flush against the airframe.

Turbulence or just pilot error?

a reply to: Crumbles

Pilot error. He had too high a closure rate, then went into PIO when he tried to breakaway.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I see no second approach. Did they just say forget it, or circled around.

a reply to: Crumbles

IIRC they came up again and refueled successfully.

My guess: Went back to base to change drawers, then come around to try it again.

That is heart attack while pooping, and peeing your pants material.
