Anyone have any info on this?
That just looked like all kinds of stupid.

Not to mention the crew that was put at risk that happened to be at the mercy of the bonehead that pulled this off.

The French have tankers... Don't know if 50' RA is against their rules...

The location is given as France, though I don't know where in France there is desert like in the video. The comments are in French and it does look like it's a French 135. No telling what their regs are as far as low passes/etc. Looks precoordinated, judging by the congregation of folks on the ground.

I think it looks fake

I think it looks fake

At first I thought so too, given the lack of dust kicked up. But watch the shadow cast by the plane... if it is fake, who ever did it did a great job where that is concerned.

I didn't see anything wrong with what they were doing...

Yea, but how are you guys going to get under there to get fuel?
Now that would be a video I would like to see.

Low level refueling!

Better yet, just gas up all of the ground equipment too while you are down there.

Air to ground refueling.

It just looks like a "watch this" moment, which occasionaly ends up a smoking hole.

Hello,
If was indeed a French Air Force KC-135 depicted in the video then it was more than likely filmed in Chad. The French had a large presence there in the during the war there. Quite a few low-flying videos made by those folks on the internet.

I would think it would be much louder as the 135 passed by....something doesn't seem authentic.
