I can see it now. it's a pair of Skyhawks buddy tanking. Looks to be USN or USMC, either way - they're typical - crazy.

[SkippyBing]

I'm fairly sure they're actually Kiwi, trying to remember where I got the picture from now.

[DaveB]

If I didn't know better.. I'd think one of those was Pete McLeland

Tks for sorting it Skip ;-)

Kiwi... yep, they have do do it like that down under

[jab]

Yeah why do they fly them in pairs do they do that with the Tristars?

Happy New Year James

One of the guys has already mentioned why the '10s' do it if you scroll back a few posts ;-) All the RAF 10's have a permanently fitted receiving probe.. not all the RAF Tristars do. The max fuel that can be carried by a VC10(K3) is around 73tonnes and a K4 (no internal tanks) is 68tonnes (C1K a little more at 69.. Plonk this against a Tristar which with internal tanks fitted can carry 139.7tonnes.. you'll see that the necessity for a Tristar to receive fuel is a lot less than a VC10 ;-)
