I actually really liked doing air-to-air refueling. One time crossing the Atlantic was great. Two or three times on the way to the Persian Gulf, not so much. Hanging on the boom for 25-30 minutes to get the gas was not fun after awhile. I used to wake up the next morning and my forearms hurt. Didn't want to have to make "the walk of shame" for not getting the gas and having to divert on the way. Talk about peer pressure.
