hi, thanks for the earlier replies on the refueling probes/drogues, but i made a mistake somehow (probably because I said “drogue”). What i meant was an adapter “probe” that fits onto aircraft like F-16 so it can receive fuel from USN like aircraft. It’s good to know from elp that the other way around only takes 30 minutes…so that would explain why most others buying large tankers from US still have the boom attached, just in case maybe?
