Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jeepnik: Chinook been doing that kind of stuff for decades. https://i.imgur.com/foJDERk.jpg I was flying my CGS Hawk ultralight south of Lake Erie 25 yrs ago and saw a Chinook with what looked like an F-16 under it's belly. It was way faster than me so I couldn't get anywhere near close enough to confirm. |

That is an F-35C that is a pre-production aircraft.
It is CF-01. It did not have a BUNO. It the first developmental test carrier variant F-35C fighter jet that was built.  Marine CH-53K lifts a F-35C while refueling from a KC-130 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 1cheapshot: Is that AI?? Because it doesn’t look right to me. After seeing Zitiforbreakfast post, I guess it is real. That C-130 fueler looks awful close to those rotor blades in the first picture. That’s some skills keeping the blades from smacking that big donkey dick.

Was it refilling the fuel or hydraulic fluid on the CH-53?

Paint scheme looks like this might be CF-01, the first C model. |

I've watched a marine 53 drop a nearly brand new chinook and an apache.
Also, you’re not cool until you refuel a refueler that is refueling a refueler.  Attached File |
