Cool to see stuff from the 50's that was 'the deal' @ the time. @ 2:07 it looks like the USAF operated a tanker I wasn't familiar with as the happy A/C commander is flying what looks like a C-119 'ah what the heck, it's got lots of windows just like a B-50' :roll:

B-50/ F-100 refueling

Been there and done that. We quickly learned that the hose whip could be stopped by moving the basket a little left or right after hook up which put a small loop in the hose and stopped the whip.
