April 1, 20178 yr hi, I'm looking for some details about the NATO AAR procedure. First, when the ATP-56 was update that changed the AAR side? in the past the the fighters joining the tanker were joined from "right observation" and after they finished the AAR they left to the left side. Second, what is the reason for this change? thanks

November 30, 20196 yr In 18 years and I’d guess 500+ refuelings, I never joined up on the right so it’s been changed for a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
