"How do you Fix Fuel Streaming from the KC-135 Drogue The KC-135 Multi-Point Refuel System or MPRS pods have a much nicer meaning SOFTER drogue in the wingtip pods. The drogue resembles a Badminton Shuttlecock when you see it. Like a Hummingbird the receiver will stick their probe into the drogue to get gas. Some times the receiver probe and tanker drogue teeth locking the two refueling systems together just dont seat well so when the pumps turn on fuel begins streaming like you see with this AV-8 B Harrier. The best way to fix it is have the receiver back out of the drogue and plug in again."

"F-35 Lightning "Little Buddy" Its hard enough to get a radar lock on an F-35 because of its low observsble and stealth properties. But the F-35 has another asset for spoofing air defenses called Little Buddy. Its a towed decoy attached to the F-35 airframe and hooked up to the Lightning IIs electronic defensive systems by a fiber optic cable. The decoy trails behind the F-35 and sends out signals which cause radar guided missiles to track Little Buddy and not the actual airplane. #aviation #avgeek #military #navy #airforce #marines #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #sky #photo"

"MQ-9 Maritime Air Support to National Policy The AGM-114 Hellfire a very versatile weapon carried on numerous big and small platforms uses a laser seeker to guide it to intended targets. Recent policy changes tasks the MQ-9 Reaper in a Maritime Air Support role some MQ-9s using the Gorgon Stare video surveillance tech in the sensor ball to find fix and finish surface targets. The US is not banging on hatches or boarding high speed ships anymore. Hellfire sends them straight to Davey Jones Locker. #aviation #avgeek #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #miltary #airforce #navy #usmc #army"

"Monster Storm Waves Crashing over Ships When typhoons threatened Tokyo Japan US Navy ships often put to sea braving the mighty waves and harsh elements. The USS Kitty Hawk has the entire bow swallowed by two large waves while at sea during a typhoon. Those waves dont even compare to the millions of tons of water washing over a Royal Navy warship during a storm near Antarctica obscuring the bridge windows and covering the ships bow for several seconds. #aviation #avgeek #pilot #pilotlife #fuel #water #storm #waves #military #navy #fly #night #flight #deck #jet #plane #photo #photography"

"Hard Landings [--] There are pilots whove had hard landings and there are those that will at a future time. My hardest landing put [---] gs on the G Meter landing at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa Japan after a typhoon had passed the island. The Antonov shows a unique hard landing technique putting the nose wheels down first and then the mains hitting hard. The guy observing over the pilots shoulders in the cockpit view seems pretty relaxed until the jet lands hard on the runway. His facial expression conveys what all the crewmembers are thinking #aviation #avgeek #military #pilot #pilotlife #airforce"
