In this mission, you can practice aerial refueling in your Viper. You can do this both as no.2 of a four-ship (including tanker form up procedure) in clear conditions, and/or solo, with very low visibility.

By default, you will start as no.2 of a flight package, approximately 2000ft behind Texaco.
Your COM1 radio is by default set to Texaco (251.00 MHz)

A second tanker is also in the area and can be found using TCN navigation (chan 12X | 252.00 MHz). Be aware though: For training purposes, this tanker is flying "low" at angels 11 in the middle of the clouds.


Notes:
1. Your kneeboard includes the AAR procedure checklist and tanker info.
2. At some point, you'll be able to initiate tanker turn if you want additional challenge (this might cause AI no.3 and no.4 taking a very long time to refuel)

You can pretty much do whatever you want:
- Stay in formation as no.2, follow the procedures and commence refueling after no.1. (initial intention and advise for this mission)
- Break formation, try to find Shell (using TCN navigation) and put your skill to the test refueling with very low visibility.
- First follow all procedures, refuel at Texaco, then break formation and refuel at Shell (slightly more difficult).
- Ignore any procedures and directly request to refuel on either Texaco or Shell (not tested, but should work)


Tips:
While officially NVG's are not to be used during night AAR, you can obviously use them in DCS. Practice however, to turn them off when you're hanging under the tanker and focusing on the Pilot Director Lights. It's actually quite doable.
