[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16203158, member: 67454"] Ok, one last bit: the Blackbird held almost 100,000 pounds of fuel. It took about 20 minutes to refuel. The whole time the pilot is having to watch the airspeed, his angle of attack, the airplane's center of gravity ... for 20 minutes. With half his windshield fogged over, because for some reason the designers only installed a defroster in half of the windshield and when she hit the lower altitudes and speeds to match the tanker, one half of the windshield almost immediately fogged over.
