This slide was taken from the flight deck of USS Midway. KA-6D NF-523 of VA-115 refueling EA-3B Bureau Number 142671 of VQ-1 as part of the Midlink 75 exercise airshow. One of the guests aboard CV-41 for the airshow was the Shah of Iran. As the A-3 was not the easiest a/c to take on fuel from a tanker a/c under normal circumstances this is an impressive display of airmanship by the "Whale" pilot.
