I know this young man’s father well. The whole story, after the accident report is publicly released, will be chilling.
Here’s the audio with ATC and other cooperating civilian aircraft. https://youtu.be/LvxDtUadR2I

A truly remarkable story.

Yep. That'll get your blood pumping! having been involved in many an air refueling "exercise", a couple for real, I know the feeling every time you pull up behind the tanker. And I was the B/N. A-6s

That it took two years to figure that out is simply sad.

Sure would have liked to see a photo of the plane after landing.

There's plenty if you Google.

Missing a few props, one external fuel tank, one IFR pod.. it's pretty awesome
