I think he means that Kromberg was pilot in command on flight 30 and that its getting hard to keep track with all the flying going on.

Okay, what are you asking? Is there a language barrier here that we should be made aware of?

After some scheduled downtime for maintenance, flight 33 was yesterday ( 3/5/08 ) with Beesley. I think KC135 tanker support is supposed to show up next week.

Today Jon Beesley few 1.6 hours with a tanker. 5 connects/disconnects performed to rate HQ. He said it was twice as easy to refuel as the F-16. No actual fuel was transfered. This was flight 34.

I wonder in what way the F-35 was easier to refuel than the F-16? (i.e. more stable?)
