Had a close encounter today with Texaco:
Nu-NRG and me are a 2-ship, Eddie and Warthogsmurf another 2-ship.
Our flight is just done refueling and sitting in the reform area. Eddie is on the boom, with Warthogsmurf in the observation area.
We turn 10 degrees to the right away from the tanker track and go head's down to set radio's and such.
At that point, the tanker decides to make a 15 degree right turn.
As I come heads up and look over my right shoulder to my wingman (Nu-NRG), I see the tanker, Eddie and Warthgsmurf passing in between us....
Anyway, a picture says more than a thousand words:
Needless to say it was quite a topic in the debriefing.
