Squadron of F/A-18 Performs Stunning Mid-Air Refuelling Amid Raging Thunderstorm - Video
13:11 GMT 06.09.2020 (Updated: 19:40 GMT 19.10.2022) Little is known about the brave pilots, who performed the "thunderous" refuelling except for the fact they are total bada**es. The video itself was published by an Instagram user named combat_learjet without any details about the squadron performing the feat, since an anonymous contributor provided the video.
Now, that's something you don't get to see every day – a squadron of F/A-18 fighter jets and Lockheed Martin KC-130 performing the double feat of mid-air refuelling at night, while flying in the vicinity of a raging thunderstorm. Refuelling in poor visibility is a major stunt in itself, but pumping fuel from a flying 3,600-gallon (13,627-litre) gas tank as bolts of lightning strike nearby at the same time is even more challenging.
And naturally, the video would be incomplete without AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" playing in the background.
