The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon supports ''in-flight refueling''. You need to start a specific scenario or do that in multiplayer to get a tanker [[aircraft]].

== New to fighter aircraft == | |||
If you have never flown an aircraft like this one before (Just light planes or airliners), crashed it before landing or just are not sure, how to land a right way; there is an article ''[[A-4F Skyhawk Operations Manual]]'' by Andy Ross. Although is written for the [[Douglas A-4]] most of the information contain general stuff about fly delta wing aircraft, about stall, AoA and landing maneuver and applies to the F-16 too. | |||
