Bell disconnects from the fuel boom and rolls away.

"You're clear to go, Walt."

Richard lines up behind Tempest and comes in for a landing.

The landing goes well, with only a slight hitch as the crew aren't entirely sure where to attach the tow cable to your plane.

Walt heads over to the fuel booms
" don't retract them quite yet, I'm going to grab some fuel after these guys"

Bell disconnects from the fuel boom and rolls away.
"You're clear to go, Walt."

The line is left out for Walt to use. Fortunately, his plane is in fact capable of using this method to refuel.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw radios command.

"I'm going to stay flying in case anything else happens. I guess I'm queuing up behind Walt unless you got a spare fuel boom."

[Badger]

Walt positions himself to receive additional fuel.

" see how crash is doing on his fuel, I doubt he's filled up his sky whale completely though. "

"'Booms booms booms.' Who the hell uses booms? In case you didn't notice, the carrier has drogues hung behind it," Jaakko says.

[Qwepir]

Who the hell uses booms?

the f-23, for starters

"Who the hell uses booms? In case you didn't notice, the carrier has drogues hung behind it.

A refueling line drops out of the port tail boom and you are given authorization to use it.

what's this then

what's this then

This is a P-38 Lightning, recognizable for its twin-boom orientation.

This is the NAUC carrier, which also possesses two tail booms.


This is how Russian (and therefore, Aesthian) planes refuel. A fuel line ending in a cone-shaped basket is dangled out the end of the tanker, and the plane in need of refueling will extend a probe, usually located on or near the nose, and position it so it docks with the basket.


Some American (and therefore, some Mercanan) planes do it differently, relying on a rigid structure also referred to as a boom that puts the fuel directly into a specialized port on the receiving plane.

The carrier has one of these:


dangling out of each of these


sorry for the confusion

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko attempts to urinate into a piddle pack.

[comr4de]

I guess agent legit 22 isnt coming back then

[Qwepir]

You have 36 hours to respond with your answers, starting from the time this was posted at, but for your own good don't rush it.

Time's up, now we can only assume you haven't changed.

[Gojira]

don't think he saw it
"Dammit how the hell have I survived this long?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko successfully urinates into the piddle pack!

The solution emits the smell of urea and coagulates.

[Qwepir]

Alright, so to recap:
Tempest, Hawkeye, and Sabre have landed; Shortsword, Walt, and Crash are staying up; Gladiator is staying up but will likely need to retire to the carrier sooner rather than later due to compatibility issues; and Tourist is undecided.
Also, killcounts have been updated, with Gus scoring 2 and Bell scoring 1. As always, drones aren't counted because they're just fodder and tracking who killed which drone is an absolute headache.

don't think he saw it

He had 2 days to see it, and he's been active on the forums since then.
