I talked to a tanker pilot that said he had a guy that ran out of fuel. He was close enough to put the tanker into a dive and get ahead of the fighter and give him enough fuel to start the engines and get back up altitude and totally refuel.

Good evening, mountainlion….what a terrific story! What a “can do” accomplishment by the tanker pilot. So proud of our military!!!
