G3) A-A HA MS Front view of A-6A in flight; part of tanker is seen off to right. VG4) HA MS A-6A refueling; high speed boom extends down thru center of scene, obscuring part of aircraft (there is some obstruction off to right, part of fueling station). G5) HA MLS F-4B refueling; high speed boom extends down thru center of scene, obscuring part of F-4B (there is some obstruction off to right) (SV). VG6) HA MLS A-4B breaking away from fuel hose (SV) (obstruction off to right, part of fueling station) otherwise G7) HA MS A-6A refueling in flight; high speed boom extends down thru center of scene, obscuring part of A-6A (SV). G8) HA MS A-6A making approach on fuel hose. G9) HA MCU A-6A refueling; high speed boom directly in FG (SV). G10) HA MLS A-4B making approach on fuel hose. G11) HA MS A-4B making contact and fueling; high speed boom in FG, obscuring much of the aircraft (some obstruction off to right, part of fueling station in tanker) (SV). G12) A-A HA MLS F-4B in flight; high speed boom seen off to right. VG13) HA MS Down over front of A-4B making approach on fuel hose; high speed boom extended down thru center of scene; F-4B attempts to make contact, continues flying off to one side of fuel hose (SV).14) HA MCU F-4B refueling; high speed boom seen in top part of frame. G15) LA CU High speed boom being lowered; part of fuel funnel seen in BG; open sky in BG. VG16) LA CU Down length of high speed boom moving quickly off to right, and moving upwards and off to left, then down to show maneuverability of high speed boom; coastline and marshes far below. VG17) MS Toward after part of KC-135A on parking area; high speed boom and fuel hose extended out from rear of aircraft. G18) MS KC-135A in parking area; fuel hose dangling from high speed boom. G19) CU Fuel hose dangling at after part of tank.20) CU KC-135A; fuel hose dangling in FG. G21) ECU Fuel hose, showing the large funnel (fuel).

G25) HA ECU A-6A making its approach and making contact with fuel hose of tanker; high speed boom off to left; A-6A breaks away from fuel hose funnel, moves back out of scene to BG. G26) HA MCU A-6A refueling; high speed boom extended down thru center of scene (SV). VG27) CU Down length of high speed boom to fuel hose; contact is about to be made with fuel probe of A-4B. F28) HA CU Down over front of A-6A in position behind tanker (short scene). G29) CU Down length of high speed boom and fuel hose; fuel probe of A-4B makes contact with fuel hose; nose area of A-4B is partly obscured by high speed boom; Pan, up, of the aircraft. G30) HA CU Down length of high speed boom; fuel probe of A-4B makes contact, immediately breaks away; A-4B falling back off to right, moves back into position. G31) HA CU A-4B refueling. G32) HA CU A-4B refueling; EA-6A in flight directly below. G33) HA MCU A-4B in flight; high speed boom extended out to left. G34) CU Down length of high speed boom; contact is made by A-5A mostly hidden out of scene to left. F35) CU Down length of high speed boom and fuel hoses; contact is finally made by A-5A and fueling is begun. F
