Was on for about an hour and a half this morning. Tooled around with dropping different munitions on the tank targets then headed offshore about 100 miles to hook up to the tanker. I only put on 25% fuel at base so that I'd be pretty dry by the time I got out there. Actually managed a fairly passable tankering and topped off the tanks with about a half a dozen disconnects. I'm getting better though.. I actually found a good trick that I had read about worked - set both throttles to a couple knots below the tanker speed, then use only the right throttle to make the fine adjustments while on the boom. I thought it would induce some funky yaw, but the power changes are so small that it really doesn't do much.
I left the tanker unmolested...no flaming wreckage..
