Hi PeterD,

for the second time, thank you very much for the Sabre an MiG..

I have a question though, would it be possible to make the planes ready for air-refueling?

The Americans tried it back in '51..

Here's a quote from a story:

''There were other efforts to extend the F-86's range. In early 1951, the USAF tested aerial refueling on a T-33, F-84 and F-86.
The airman flew 4 flights in an F-86A in March using a drogue system from a KB-29 tanker and a 3.5 foot probe on an F-86 120 gallon external fuel tank. This configuration encountered problems because it placed the fighter's empennage in the tanker's turbulance, making longitudinal control ''very difficult'' and causing the drogue to bob. As a result, contact in the F-86 was more a problem than with the other 2 aircraft..'

Cjeers!

Very unlikely. What's wrong with using the large droptanks? Not big enough??
