Did the trailing aircraft need a guy out the cockpit to 'plug in'?? :o

Well at least now they can do it in the comfort of an 'Office' and in-between coffee breaks!! :lol:

Ummm!! Should I have really said that? :worried:

I can just imagine you having to open the DV (or have the flteng do it) to grab the line with a petrol-pump style tap on the end then lift the filler cap and tank up :lol: Not much fun for the single-seat chaps but the nav in the back of a Tonka would come in handy :rock:

How about a price sign incorporated into the tailfin? Just loiter outside the tanking zone for whoever, and charge a cent or two less :flying:

...along with a free chamois....

I can quite believe that... perhaps they think you fly something like Thunderbird 2 and anyone refuelling lands inside and has a coffee at the same time!!!

Wouldn't surprise me to hear they'd been asking why one aircraft used 3lbs of fuel more than the next one... :roll:
