As most of you know...the Tomcat (F-14) has been phased out of the Navy and as such, one of the last video's has made its rounds to me.....

The whole refueling thing just baffles me. Why does the air force and the navy use two totally different apparatuses do accomplish the same end result?

Not sure...they both use the basket method...as far as I know. We have in our arsanal, the F/A-18 that can also be the Super Tankers....they will have the basket attached to there fuel cells. And then just deploy it in the back...the aircraft will fly up to let his nozel attach to the basket...and BAM...you some fuel. I mean we us KC-135's from the Air Force and Tankers...and all. I think we all have the same set-up.
