Those Shots were at/over Tuy Hoa AB, RVN. passed to me by a friend who was stationed there circa 1969.

The pic of the F-100 about to re-fuel reminded me of a funny story. I dont remember where I heard it. but F-100 pilots were always short on fuel before heading to the tanker. so he had a painting of a naked woman with her legs apart around the fueling receptacle to give the boomer a little more modivation to get it "in" on the 1st try.

Jeff, the F-100 used a probe and drogue inflight refuel method. Your method would only work for a receptacle type. Unless she were a cross dresser?

Groovy! I've got an original 8x10 of that same shot of the 136th TFS jet. Would you happen to have any more from the 136th?

Here's a couple more shots of 136th Huns at Tuy Hoa...
