For a pilot, air-to-air refuelling is one of the most difficult and dangerous procedures to perform. Automating the process would not only eliminate the risk of human error but would also cut down the number of pilot hours required for training. Thank God there are smart people like this in this world.

Flying is a large part of United States Air Force Academy experience. Some of the most enjoyable training you will receive is in aviation and airmanship courses offered throughout your four years at the Academy. As early as Basic Cadet Training (BCT), you’ll be exposed to air power via multiple flyovers of America’s top-line aircraft. After BCT, your training continues with instruction in the concepts of flight, navigation and operations. Additionally, most fourth-class cadets will get their first exposure to airmanship during Introduction to Soaring, which includes four glider flights culminating in the opportunity for basic aerobatics.
