  1. This brings up a good point. I'm not talking about this specific instance, but a common dilemma. On one hand, "it's a war" and we have to do our best to get bombs on target, even if it means bending or breaking the rules sometimes. On the other hand, if the tanker pilot gets caught breaking rules and gets in trouble, it's his ass, and his alone. The receiver just wants his gas; he doesn't give a shit about what happens with the tanker or its crew after the offload is complete. Since the tanker is the only one looking out for the tanker, he'll do what he has to do. I guess the best thing a receiver can do is to impress upon his tanker that it's a life and death or urgent situation that requires continuing below 5k. This puts the tanker pilot a much better position to make a more favorable decision. Criticize the situation I've outlined here all you want, but I'm more interested in providing useful solutions, rather than bitching.
