Anybody know what speed the C-130 would have been using for the A/R? I have flown with some old KC-97 pilots that said that they needed to be in a full power descent to get fast enough to refuel certain fighters.

it is extremely common place.
I've done KC-130 tanking at 500'.
besides the turbulence causing problems over the Northern Territory desert - it isn't a problem.
