Zoomie said:Strategic AAR is really for the Jets - whether it be fighters, bombers, strategic trash-haulers (C-17).
What you are describing is the role of the Tactical AAR - a helicopter can't fly fast enough to refuel effectively off a jet airliner, conversely that same airliners might experience some difficulties slowing down enough. The C-130 usually refuels the helo-assets in the US military. AFAIK, we are not considering this role for our legacy Hercs.
Oops. I should have spelled it out more rather than saying "extended" to include what you had said re: Herc's/Tac AAR. My bad. But you got what I meant, and thanks for the answer.
