Passing gas is nothing to be ashamed of--in fact, it is a vital skill required of most military aviators. There are different ways to do it, and there are many occasions when passing gas is not only appropriate but necessary. On this episode, U.S. Navy ( https://www.navy.com/?activity=acid=ppc_gg_b_stan_coreamkwid=s3JzLDOTZ%7Cpcrid%7C246331604814%7Cpkw%7Cus.+navy%7Cpmt%7Ce%7Cpdv%7Cc%7Ctargetids%7Caud-343435646143%3Akwd-343419469615%7Cgroupid%7C47565242391%7C ) Captain Fitz “Dud” Lee explains how and why military aircraft refuel in flight, as well as which aircraft are capable of doing so. We also exchange a few “sea stories” related to how managing aerial tankers are vital to flight operations at sea aboard an aircraft carrier.
