  abstract: Section 1081 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 calls for the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of utilizing commercial fee-for-service air refueling tanker aircraft for Air Force operations. Air refueling occurs using two methods: flying boom or probe and drogue Boom in-flight air refueling is accomplished by the Boom Operator, flying the tanker's refueling boom into the receiver's receptacle. Once connected, the tanker pumps fuel from its fuel tanks into the receiver's fuel tanks. This is the primary method used by the Air Force. Probe and drogue air refueling is accomplished by a probe-equipped receiver flying the receiver aircraft's probe into the tanker's drogue, a basket attached to the end of a flexible hose or the tankers boom. Once connected, the tanker transfers fuel to the receiver aircraft. This is the method used by the Navy. There are no commercial boom-equipped refueling aircrafts. The fee-for-service air refueling pilot program anticipates an 18 to 36 month preparatory period during which a boom-equipped air refueling aircraft will be developed.
