Had some different units refuelling on AR220 last evening (the 171st out of
Pittsburgh usually handles the tanker duties for this track). PISTON 53
(927th ARW - Selfridge AFB, MI) was working with RHINO 50 (445th Airlift
Wing - Wright Patterson AFB, OH). Refuelling was on 352.60 (AR220 Primary).
A brief article on the 445th receiving its last C-5 as part of their
transition from the C-141 is here
http://www.445aw.afrc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123036934 . RHINO 50 must
have had a handful of pilots on board for training, there were a lot of seat
swaps. They most just did contacts with PISTON 53, RHINO only got 1,000 LBS
of fuel during the course of the whole 1.5 hours they were working with each
other. I would say that they finished up around 7:45PM EST last night. All
players did an excellent job and I hope that we can expect to hear more from
them in the future.
