I'm talking about the flexible green conduit that appears to be connected
to
the wing near its tip.
Real aircraft don't fuel from the wing tips.
IIRC the pressure refuel valves on a 747 are between the two engines towards
the leading edge of the wing, closer to the inboard engine than outboard (at
least that's what I can recall from memory of watching some show or another
about TWA 800)
Besides, if that was an AirForce shot, isn't there a mil spec 101c or some
such that states that a fuel line would be red (flamable hazmat) and not
green?
The airplane is in an EMP test stand.
There is no reason in the world why the airplane would be fueled on
the test stand.
The test stands at Kirtland AFB are a ways from the runway, but not
that far.
