Boeing MQ-25 Refuels U.S. Navy E-2D

On Aug. 18, 2021, the #MQ25 T1 test asset refueled a U.S. Navy E-2D Hawkeye command-and-control aircraft. This is the unmanned aerial refueler's second refueling mission.

That's the first Hawkeye I have seen with a refueling probe. Did some reading and they started adding the probe to production a/c and retrofitting in 2020. Makes sense to increase loiter time. Everyone knows the Air Force AWACS can hardly get airborne anymore. Go Navy!

The story is in the landings - the normal but wonky landing of the E-2 and the perfect two-wheel touchdown of the MQ-25. That thing looks like it has rock-solid avionics.

Can the MQ25 take on Fuel from like KC135, 46s or KC130s or is Back to Carrier or Land Base to Reload

This is cool and all, but I have two questions; when is the E-2D going to come to DCS world and will the MQ-25 accompany it?

The MQ-25 is remarkable and very useful, but the qustion is that will it fit on a aircraft carrier?

Any one notice how respectfully YouTube treates Boeing. Never any adverts for VPNs or green trinkets. Almost like there is as double standard.

I'd like to see what happens when the dish of the E2 accidentally flies into the jet wash of the MQ-25. Looks close.

Wow thats cool, I'm gonna buy one to protect my new 747

I've never seen anything quite like that before. Probably some efficiency gains from the size and shape of the fueling plane. It actually looks more like a done to me.

Beautiful, that was fantastic, I'm very impressed. Keep it up. Thank you.

Boeing needs to step up its game. I don't wanna fly in no Chinese Planes.

China will have one of these in a couple years.
