My old man told me a couple stories about hooking up w/a 135 when he was on the 10 and C-5. The bow wave could force the tail of the 135 up and the its autopilot tried to compensate and there you go...emer brake.

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.
