ReconRat Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Looks like the AWACS climbed after hookup, and triggered an auto disconnect. Not sure why the AWACS then yo-yo'd, but probably airflow across the elevators (or that large airfoil rotating dome on top). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was expecting the refueling plane to pre-maturely blow its load and give the other plane a facial. Lol. But that was some crazy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpaw Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not cool! AWACS pilot needs to be DQ'd. Should always bank down and away from the boom after a break away. I worked with those NATO E-3s, the standards with their aircrews just aren't the same as ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
