shags_j Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That was great. Did they refuel using another fa18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
