Good view of the Douglas/Sargent Fletcher D-704 inflight refueling buddy store. The nose propeller powers the internal hydraulic pump used for extending and retracting the hose as well as powering the fuel transfer pump. The buddy store also has a 300 U.S. gallon fuel tank in the center between the prop/hydraulic pump area in the front and the hose reel area at the rear.
