Completes Operational-Scenario Mission With NATO F-16 Fighters

The A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT), which is an Airbus
Military program, has achieved a new milestone with its first
nighttime refueling operation using the advanced Aerial Refueling Boom
System (ARBS) integrated on the first Australian A330 tanker.

The Royal Australian Air Force A330 MRTT transferred more than 3,300
pounds of fuel through the ARBS during a multi-contact mission
involving two F-16 fighter aircraft.
