-135/BUFF CFIC Wifferdill

For the tanker, the point was be very smooth on the controls and have smooth throttle technique (a tanker pilot jocking the throttles trying to hold exact airspeed drives the receiver pilot nuts). Let the airspeed ride and telegraph your turns by slow roll-ins. "Fun" is probably the wrong word . . more like "challenging." It's "fun" to watch and "challenging" to do . . like most things in aviation.

The worst situation to be in was trying to get gas from the #2 tanker attempting to stay in position off of #1 at all cost (throttle jockeying).
I HATED THAT!!!! :uzi:

If a tanker/BUFF duo can do it, it must not be that hard.
