That was great.

 

Did they refuel using another fa18?

Great doco. The americans love to dramatize but those guys have balls of steel.

Awesome.

 

They were 2 chapters from episode 7 of Carrier. I want to see the whole thing now.

 

Did you know that because of it's nuclear propulsion, the Nimitz can go 20 years without refuelling?

 

I think the aerial refuelling is provided by a Grumman EA-6B Prowler from VAQ-135 (Black Ravens) squadron.
