Guy,
I'm personally of the opinion that it is MUCH harder to tank in
turbulence on a WARPS or WOPR (wing mounted KC-135 or KC-10) than on the
"iron maiden." The hoses are so long that the effects of turbulence
become huge.
OK, I found WARPs, but what's WOPR? All I could find was "War Games"
references.
