You would be surprised just how often that happens. Basket snags and rip offs are not that uncommon, and even more so at night.... Lost count of the times that I had to boroscope engines and replace probes in a previous life due to this.

I can hardly understand how they ever do it successfully... with a hose-and-basket setup, it's gotta be a beeyonch!!! And at night!?!?!
Fahgeddabouddit... Shocked

Tanker crew did very well, though- shut it off and retracted by the book, apparently. And at least that poor pilot didn't fall off station completely...

Not suprised. There'd have to be a weak link there somewhere for when things go wrong.

Hey I saw this Vulcan "in person"... At the galeão ( Antonio Carlos Jobin ) now... my father and my brother was there...I saw this Vulcan at 1982!!! Cheesy

But didn't knew that the history was that!....the brasilian air force left that vulcan unarmed and left the vulcan return home...at least this is what they say here.... Wink

Quite correct, the refuel nozzle has a ring of shreer rivets just in case of a snag or hose whip.

I hate to say that, but I seriously doubt this is the Brazilian Air Force, since the voice that can be heard in the background is Italian! And these planes, if I'm not mistaken, are used also by "our" Air Force.
And most of all, I'm quite sure I spot our tricolored flag on that plane. Wink

For those interested, here is a transcript with an approximative translation: Cheesy

"Dai... dai... nooo! Vaffanbrodo! Porca..." ("Come on... come on... nooo! Dammit! F**k..."
(unintelligible chatter)
"Dai... " "Oh, là!" "Attento!" ("Come on..." "There he is!" "Careful!")
"S'è rotto!" "Porca puttana!" "Porca..." "Vaffanculo!" ("It's broken!" "F****n' b**ch!" "F**k...." "F**k it!")
I'm sorry if it's a bit rude, but this is what's being said. Grin

LOL! I had the sound down and missed the insignia...
thanks for the new Italian profanities... Wink

What I don't get is why you didn't just let everyone believe it was Brazil...where's your national pride? Wink
