A bag full of firsts

摘要

ON OCTOBER 12, several French press outlets reported on a first successful trial to aerial refuel Armee de I'Air Caracals assigned to Escadron d'Helicopteres (EH) 1/67 'Pyrenees', from an Ejercito del Aire KC-130 Hercules. The trial is reported to have taken place near BA125 Istres in southern France. Supposedly, this first trial only included daytime runs, but future trials should also involve nighttime refuelling.
