Question: Am I missing something, or does it not show the actual refueling? all I saw was the tube stretching out, hitting the windshield, and being pulled back in. but maybe I missed it. Intothewoods29 (talk) 21:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There's a fuel intake mechanism mounted near the windshield. You can see it best when the drogue basket disconnects. Durova^Charge! 21:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay I didn't see that. Thanks. Support because it fulfils all of the requirements for FP. Intothewoods29 (talk) 03:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it doesn't show the refueling afaik... it shows how it's done but just like everything else in the video its cut short (and that's not to say a 20+ minute video of everything in full is any more encyclopedic... it's not) gren グレン 04:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
