This VF-161 F-4N has just launched from USS Midway and is topping off with fuel from VA-115 KA-6B Bureau Number 151793 before proceeding on its mission. In the background is RF-4B Bureau Number 153093 of VMPF-3, which has already refueled. I took this slide from a VA-93 A-7A.

This slide was taken from the flight deck of USS Midway. KA-6D NF-523 of VA-115 refueling EA-3B Bureau Number 142671 of VQ-1 as part of the Midlink 75 exercise airshow. One of the guests aboard CV-41 for the airshow was the Shah of Iran. As the A-3 was not the easiest a/c to take on fuel from a tanker a/c under normal circumstances this is an impressive display of airmanship by the "Whale" pilot.

This KA-6D is the high tanker and is holding above the USS Midway (CV-41) awaiting some "customers" who need fuel. I took this slide from a VA-93 A-7A "Corsair II" that was in tanker configuration. There were two tankers airborne overhead the ship for every launch and recovery, normally one KA-6D and one A-7. The KA-6D refueling hose was installed permanently under the rear fuselage as seen in the photo. The A-7 was easily configured into a tanker by temporarily mounting a D-704 air refueling store with hose under the left wing, and two fuel tanks under the right wing.
