Not pictured: The invisible UAP space force saucer refuelling navy tanker
(this is just a joke not a dig at uaps, alients, etc)
If planes could charge on power lines like birds, we wouldn’t need these silly games of in-flight refueling telephone
The jet:
This is so fucking hot
Wouldn’t it make more sense to refuel the jet? Jets can fly on their own power right?
If only there were an explanation in the link.
Maybe that jet is broken, and can’t fly until they fix it. Maybe it was stuck somewhere they couldn’t maintain it, or didn’t have a runway for it to take off from.
In this case, it’s a prototype jet, is missing the engine, and is being relocated to another state.
Jets can fly on their own power right?
Hopefully someday, but for now they still need the helicopter to fly.
