    What does "Probe and Dorgue " mean ?

    Question #124528. Asked by shimonbentzvi. (Dec 22 11 2:43 PM)

    		It's DROGUE -- Aerial refueling, also called air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), air-to-air refueling (AAR) or tanking, is the process of transferring fuel from one aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight.

    The two main refueling systems are probe-and-drogue, which is simpler to adapt to existing aircraft, and the flying boom, which offers greater fuel transfer capacity, but requires a dedicated operator station.
