Do qf-4's ever air refuel? Clearly not without a pilot and I know there really isnt a need to do so, I just wanted to know if its ever occured. Be interesting to see a qf lined up behind a kc-10 or 135.......

I seriously doubt that money and effort was expended to qualify the receiver systems for use agin.

Yes, I have done it while flying a business effort for the Eglin Test Squadron.

Wow thats interesting. I figure that if it has been done it was for special purposes like testing or something thanks for the info! What kind of business effort was it if you dont mind my asking?

A business effort is what the TDY is called when we take a tanker and crew to a base that has no assigned tankers and fly everyday attached to that unit, usually for training. Eglin has a tanker down there almost every week, Edwards does when their assigned tanker is in PDM. Also alot of the fighter bases will have us come down for a couple of weeks when they are spinning up for a deployment so that they can have a dedicated tanker for their training that is flying on their schedule.

Thanks!! Thats very interesting. Was it just a single time or were there more than one/multiple aircraft? Never heard of this before!
