At present, there are two tanker [[aircraft]] ([[Boeing KC-135E|KC135-E]] and KA6-D) and three receiving aircraft (A4F, Lightning and [[Northrop T-38|T38]]) capable of in-air refuelling. When flying one of these aircraft in the default scenery area, one can locate the tanker aircraft using air-air TACAN and/or radar and then receive a full or partial load of fuel by flying in close formation behind the tanker. Refuelling is also possible between aircraft in a MultiPlayer session. The KC135 is a boom refueller, while the KA6 has a hose. The A4F and Lightning are both fitted with a probe for hose refuelling while the T38 is fitted with a boom receiver. At the moment, either type can refuel from any tanker, but in the future it is likely that the correct type will have to be used. | At present, there are two tanker [[aircraft]] ([[Boeing KC-135E|KC135-E]] and KA6-D) and three receiving aircraft ([[Douglas A4 Skyhawk|A4F]], [[English Electric Lightning|Lightning]], and [[Northrop T-38|T38]]) capable of in-air refuelling.
