This has been over my place a lot tonight. Haven't seen it for awhile and it's nice to have it back. There is a designated training area for refueling around our place in the Willamette Valley.

if i remember correctly, this is impressive because the tanker's stall speed is about half a knot above the helicopter's max speed

Not realy that close, the MH-47 is probably the fastest in the US Army with a max speed of about 190+/- mph. The only Army unit capable of aerial refueling is the 160th SOAR. What is really impressive is the those guys do it at night. NSDQ

I sent a copy of that to a friend who is on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said that is special ops CH 47 out here practicing. They are the only 47s I know of with refueling capability.
