Beta is a nuclear-powered flying wing which carries Alpha into orbit.

Tintin comes up with a plan to trick Golden Oil into providing the fuel they need by secretly running a hose to Aurora from Chester's ship, Sirius: when Golden Oil refuels Sirius, the hose allows them to refuel Aurora in the process. Close to the Peary, the Aurora receives an indistinct distress call from another ship and the crew agrees to alter their course to help, but inquiries by Tintin expose that the distress signal is a decoy to delay them. Resuming the journey, they intercept a cable announcing that the Peary expedition has reached the meteorite but not yet claimed it.

A 55 Sqn Victor K1 refuels a US Navy KA-6D Intruder from VA-65, in 1971. No. 55 Squadron did not reform until 1 September 1960 at RAF Honington, when it became part of the RAF's V bomber force, being the fifth squadron equipped with the Handley Page Victor when it received Victor B.1As.Mason 1994, p. 389. When the Vickers Valiant was grounded in December 1964 owing to metal fatigue, the RAF lost its aerial refueling tanker force, and a rush programme was launched to convert Victor B.1s to fill the tanker gap. From May 1965 when it moved to RAF Marham, 55 Squadron received six interim two-point Victor BK.1A tanker conversions, allowing it to become operational in the tanker role in August 1965.Gunston Aeroplane Monthly February 1981, p. 65.

Lockheed MC-130P 66-0215 of the 67th SOS refuels a Bell Boeing CV-22B Osprey of the 7th Special Operations Squadron, 24 January 2014. On 7 May 1993, it was announced that the 352nd Special Operations Group, including the 67th SOS, would relocate to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. However, this move was not completed until 30 April 1995, with the 67th SOS arriving on 17 February 1995. In February 1996, the squadron's HC-130N/Ps were redesignated the MC-130P Combat Shadow by Air Force Special Operations Command. On 7 June 2013, the Night Owls began to replace their MC-130P Combat Shadows when their first Lockheed MC-130J Commando II (10-5714) arrived. The last MC-130P sortie was flown on 24 January 2014, which saw a tour of the country over locations including Prestwick, Alconbury and the Dumfries.

Ravenstein, pp. 223–224 B-52s at Westover AFB A deployed KC-135A refuels F-4 Phantoms in Southeast Asia The division's wings deployed B-52 and KC-135 aircraft and crews to SAC units in the Pacific that were involved in combat operations during the Vietnam War for Operation Arc Light and the Young Tiger Task Force. At times, its wings became nonoperational because all their operational resources and most of their support elements were deployed to the Pacific.Ravenstein, pp. 141–142 In July 1968, the 17th Bombardment Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio replaced the 380th wing for a year, but in July 1969 the 17th and 416th wings were transferred from division control, while the 380th returned and the 99th Bombardment Wing at Westover Air Force Base, Massachusetts became was also assigned.

In becoming more cosmopolitan— in going beyond their narrow > and parochial and largely nationalistic identities—they acquire a motivation > to learn as a part of consistently creating and recreating their lives.

Low observability provides a greater freedom of action at high altitudes, thus increasing both range and field of view for onboard sensors. The U.S. Air Force reports its range as approximately . At cruising altitude, the B-2 refuels every six hours, taking on up to of fuel at a time. The development and construction of the B-2 required pioneering use of computer- aided design and manufacturing technologies, due to its complex flight characteristics and design requirements to maintain very low visibility to multiple means of detection. The B-2 bears a resemblance to earlier Northrop aircraft; the YB-35 and YB-49 were both flying wing bombers that had been canceled in development in the early 1950s, allegedly for political reasons. The resemblance goes as far as B-2 and YB-49 having the same wingspan.

A KC-135 Stratotanker from the 22nd Air Refueling Wing refuels an F-22 At the end of the Cold War, the Air Force underwent extensive changes as a result of several rounds of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). On 1 January 1994, the 22nd Air Refueling Wing was assigned to McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, as part of the Air Force's plan to return McConnell AFB to an air refueling hub. The 384th Air Refueling Squadron, a geographically separated unit of the 19th Air Refueling Wing (at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia) and a McConnell tenant unit, joined the 22 ARW as the first of four Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker squadrons to comprise the wing’s new tanker force. Within eight months, the 350th, 344th, and 349th Air Refueling Squadrons joined the 384th in the 22nd Operations Group to fly the wing's 48 KC-135s.

Scheduled for only four months deployment in the western Pacific in 1958, mid- May through mid-September, Manatee remained an extra month to service the ships called to the area during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. The following year, after her four months WestPac duty, Manatee was chosen, because of consistently efficient service, to take part in a joint Canadian-American replenishment demonstration held 8 October 1959 for the 14th Annual Conference of the National Defense Transportation Association. Manatee refuels , 15 July 1965. In the year that followed Manatee continued to alternate duty on the west coast with Far Eastern service. She was one of seven ships chosen to visit Australia, 29 April–13 May, for the 1963 Battle of the Coral Sea celebration. With the stepped-up operations in Vietnam, Manatee’s 1964 WestPac tour was extended to 8½ months, May 1964 through January 1965.

USS Wachapreague (AGP-8) refuels a PT boat on 20 October 1944 during the voyage from Palau to Leyte.On 13 October 1944, Wachapreague sailed in company with the motor torpedo boat tenders and , the seaplane tender , and two United States Army craft for Leyte, 1,200 nautical miles (2,222 kilometers) away. The 45 torpedo boats, 15 of which were assigned to each motor torpedo boat tender, were convoyed by the larger ships, refuelled while underway at sea – with Wachapreague slowing to nine knots (17 km/hr) periodically to fuel two torpedo boats simultaneously, one alongside to starboard and one astern, eventually replenishing the fuel supply of all 15 of her brood – and successfully completed the voyage under their own power. A brief two-day respite at Kossol Roads, Palau, for repairs and a further refueling of the PT boats, preceded the final leg of the voyage.

The two outstanding issues were inadequate boom pressure when refueling the A-10 Warthog and glare induced distortion under certain conditions in the remote vision system (RVS). The Air Force has acknowledged that they failed to give Boeing adequate specifications for the A-10. At milestone C, Boeing gave the Air Force a boom design that used the international standard of 1400 lbs of thrust resistance, which they accepted, but A-10 is only able to generate 650 lbs. On 25 January 2019, the 22d Air Refueling Wing at McConnell AFB received its first two KC-46As (15-46009 and 17-46031). A further two (17-46030 and 16-46022) were delivered 6 days later. McConnell KC-46 refuels Navy Blue Angels on 1 July 2020 over South Dakota On 3 February 2019, the 97th Air Mobility Wing at Altus AFB received its first KC-46.

Yosser speeds off in the group's own van and gives chase to Brendan and Dominic, who attempts to puncture Yosser's tyres by smashing empty milk bottles on the road from the back of the van. Yosser swerves and avoids them, but runs out of petrol, shouting and venting his anger by bashing his head on the steering wheel. He finds a can of petrol in the back of the van, partly refuels and sets off in vain to find the pair, before giving up on a roundabout, bringing traffic on it to a halt and breaking down in tears, ignoring the tailback and horns being blown behind him. He returns to the group after stopping by where he had abandoned a number of items from the van, headbutting a man he believes to be an Irish gypsy and kicking his companion to the ground, who protests he is neither a gypsy nor Irish and was "just hitching a lift".
