"Refueling is close trail. Not hard. And not hard in a heavy"

PS, Some jets are much more difficult than others, which heavies did you fly, just curious not being a smart ass. I was told by my F/O yesterday, after watching the video that his RC-135 was rock solid under the tanker, my C-17 not so much (at times) the 141 very stable as well.

E-3 is a mixed bag behind the tanker. At intermediate weights it is stable enough, but at extremely heavy gross weights it becomes very pitch sensitive and very fatiguing esp. after taking 80K of fuel.
