Sweet vid!  Maybe someone with better knowledge of Hornet HUD symbology can help me out, but it looks like he's in A/A mode?  Is that common practice when hitting the tanker?  Is there a reason why it would be useful to do that?  The only thing I could think of was that having the range to the 135 displayed on the HUD would be nice.  Anybody have any insight?

Yes, in US tactical refueling (non-close control) they go nose hot, so they can get steer guidance from radar and the HUD 'til they get tally on tanker. Then they have to go nose cold, switches safe before 0.5 NM and "pre-contact".

Check out this stuff from Megascenery. Wow, whole states now. They even fly the default Hornet in some of the videos, I really like this Florida video.



Might get it just to do some VFR flights, P'Cola to Eglin and Tyndall.
