I've asked for "expired" models twice. Response comes within a week. Very nice fellow.
A short war story. I flew KC-135 tankers in the USAF. In our "Dash 3", Air Refuelling manual, there was always a diagram of the Lightning & data (refuelling airspeed, flow rate) for it. I asked some of the folks our squadron whether they had ever refuelled one? None had ever seen a Lightning except at an air show. Go figure! :-)
Most of the fighters refuelled at about 350 knots.The probe equipped ones (e.g. F-100, B-66, etc.) took maybe 10 mins to to fill up - due to the restricted flow rate through the probe & associated pumbing.
