No $hit, this is a true story !

Hanging out on the flightline at King Khalid Int Airport Jan 1991, and this Brit refueler comes in.

They couldn't retract the boom.

We couldn't have beer, but we broke out the popcorn (ok, MREs) to watch the landing.

Great spark show, and totally shredded that boom.

Ah, the good old days

Dutch, Shirley. Never any British boom-equipped refueler.
