IFR probe at last . Good to see thunders now can aerial refuel in mid air .

16th Feb is the official date of 14 Squadron Re-equipment ceremony with the JF-17 aircraft. The 14 squadron's inducted aircraft will be organized in a "U" shape and the ones with the refueling probes will be at the front. Another pain in the *** for Banyas

. Next year another squadron will be equipped yet Tejas project will be "lol".

Wouldn't it be aerodynamically better to make a retractable IFR probe?

Got it!

Yes the number seem add up this way. I do hope that we raise the number of planes per squadron to 18-20 at least (and may be 2 more as back up, at least for JF17) 16 seem a bit too low. However this is a purely administrative decision and there must be some good reason for these numbers.

Wouldn't it be aerodynamically better to make a retractable IFR probe?

Surely. But the current design do not have enough space for a retractable IFR probe.
