Aerial Refueling...

That is what Nolan has been up to! :-)

Not only is being able to refuel in the air impressive itself, he has refueled at night too!!

Just a tiny bit of info about it:
- they have to go off the coast to do this (to air space that isn't being used)
- they have to wear wet suits under their flight suits (since they are flying over water and it has been insanely cold here)
- they need 40 miles of air space - that is how long the training space is
- they really do take on fuel from the C-130
