Air Refueling in Southeast Asia
A pilot’s-eye view of the KC-135’s refueling station. Stratotankers could use either the boom by itself, or the hose-and-drogue attachment, seen here. The ability to use either method allowed USAF tankers to service aircraft from all services. Navy and Marine aircraft had probes, while the USAF used both probes and boom receptacles.
