Oh wow, that refueling screenshot brings back memories. I was fortunate to take a press flight on a KC-135 out of RAF Mildenhall in 1983. I got to see what this screenshot depicts, as we refueled five or six German F-4F's on their way to Goose Bay. Back then I was using slide film, and many shots were over-exposed. How I wish I had been using today's digital cameras! Several years later, I met one of the F-4F pilots at the London airshow (London, Ontario, Canada). He later confirmed that my KC-135 had filled up his F-4. He sent pictures of the event. How cool to see it from the other side, knowing I was in the tanker at the time! By the way, he was flying Tornadoes regularly but still preferred the Phantom from a pilot's perspective.
And now, I need to try to do what you did here. Flight control replay? - And which tanker model? Great screenshot...
I would happily share one of my actual pictures here if the admins allow it (since not simulated!)..
