Actually this happens more often than we are told, I use to ride shotgun in KC-130’s that refueled F/A-18s off Norfolk and we would hit a pocket of very warm air, it was a ride from hell. This one will be wrote off as a act of GOD and the plane repair.

Life happens. Then you die.
Good photo, but these damages have been happening since the late 40’s in many thousands of refueling screwups. It is why you refuel BEFORE you run out of alternate bases!

Hmmmn. It’s refueling drogue on KC-135? Though they had the flying probe only.
Somebody have a bad photo ID or did the Air Force start stringing drogues as well?

I’ve seen several videos of probe & drogue re-fueling accidents, but never an incident involving a re-fueling boom.

The are designed to break off if put under to much stress. Use to replace them on a lot of Marine Jets.
