The 10 calculated it's flap setting (ie...min AR speed) by adding 10 kts to it's buffet onset speed. Refueling 130's took some work as we were always on the back sided of the power curve and dirty. Once the speed starting sliding back, it was tough to catch it without gobbing in some thrust...and as a receiver, you know the result of that. Tobogganing made it so much easier, but what a PITA!

A-10s sucked as well, especially if the TEN (the real 10) was heavy. We were limited to 540K GW when refueling A-10s, but it wasn't always the case when we're constantly sucking every other tanker dry before they head home for the day. Fun times (and long sorties).

Cheers!
