The Navy's twin-jet "Sky Warrior" spends its time in the Vietnam skies as a flying gas-station. It has saved over 400 combat planes with mid-air refueling, allowing them to make it back to their carriers. A fleet of fighter jets is in formation in back of a tanker plane. The tanker releases a gas line for one of the jets. A jet moves into position to refuel. Various angles show the refueling process. A close-up is made of the fighter flying solo after refueling.
