Philip "Rowdy" Yates, the U.S. government's lead test pilot for the Boeing Joint Strike Fighter program, flies the company's X-32A concept demonstrator Dec. 19, 2000 as it refuels for the first time behind a KC-10 tanker. Flying at 20,000 feet and 235 knots, the X-32A maneuvered into the refueling drogue and effortlessly maintained its position below the tanker. Yates said the successful flight validated the handling qualities required for the Navy air refueling task.BI227537 (r17th)Maximum size:3000px × 2400px (~20 MB)10.0in × 8.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:air to air-airplanes-blue-blue skies-Boeing livery-brown-day-deserts-exteriors-fighters-flying-fuel systems-full body views-gray color-haze-historic production status-jets-KC-10 Extender-military-military livery-monoplanes-out of production-photos-propulsion systems-prototypes-refueling-right side views-sunshine-Tankers-technology demonstrators-text-viewed from above-white-wilderness-X-32A Joint Strike FighterRelated Photo/Videos:View All
