Re: Canadian C 130, in flight fire
So are you saying that there are no internal tanks used for the air to air refueling and that all that fuel is carried in the external pod tanks - it would be interesting to know how the system works and is setup and was it some of that plumbing that caused the fire -- or it was a guy smoking sitti...
