John,
Those Phantom phlyers could sniff a 0.5 give of JP5 from 100 miles away!
....and howl like banshees when Tanker Control imposed an ex-post-facto "last

The experienced fighter folks always assumed they'd get less than briefed,
and conducted themselves accordingly. It was usually the nuggets who made
the pained transmissions.

Amen.
One tactic would be to find a navigationally-competent friend up there
and promise some gas for a lead home. (Note I said "promise." g)
Not usually a problem... Those Phantom phlyers could sniff a 0.5 give of
