IMHO you didn't bother to spend much time doing serious research, much less write any of it down.

Anonymous blog poster finally solves the Coyne case. Well, well.

I just skimmed your ridiculous article briefly.

Please tell us how you propose that a KC 97 with a flying boom will refuel a helicopter?
Drive it down through the whirling blades?

Helicopters are refueled by probe and drogue. The refueling picture in your "article" shows A-7 jet aircraft being refueled in daylight by flying boom, not Huey helos at night. Plus your source for tanker operations is from Nov. 2000 for C 130s, not for KC 97s that retired in the US in the late '70s. And you haven't shown us any night helicopter refueling operations. Get busy. . .
