Ever tanked up on the KC-10 with the NATO Pods on the wingtips and the boom on the tail?

Yeah, the war pods had just come out when I making my trips to the Gulf. Nice BIG baskets and when you get in the basket you push in the hose until the light goes green. The control inputs are really weird because you are battling the vortices and jet wash. It basically feels like you are about to depart.

The easiest configuration was tanking off the center hose on the KC-10, the toughest is probably tanking off the 130. Those baskets really move around.
