A USAF AFSOC MC-130P Combat Shadow (9th SOS) prepares to refuel a CV-22 Osprey (8th SOS).
The MC-130p can perform mid-air refueling of a range of special operations helicopters and aircraft including MH-60M Black Hawks, MH-60G / HH-60G Pavehawks, MH-47 Chinooks and CV-22 Ospreys.
It features refueling drogues trailing from points on both wings in order to refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously.
