Cool. Can F-15/F-16 fly slow enough to refuel from a C-130?

Certainly… but the effort has a downside, when you throttle your F-16 back to refuel, how much of the new gas is going to be burned getting you back up to operational speed.

I bet you get the same effect reloading off a jet, just not as much.

/interesting math problem.
