Status: offline 		I placed a Boeing Elint plane to patrol, I checked the ALWAYS REFUEL in the CTRL+F9 Doctrine Menu and I placed a Tanker exclusivelly for it.
However when time came, it auto RTB, I double checked the doctrine and it was ALWAYS REFUEL. I also right clicked and selected the menu REFUEL (if possible) but it didn't changed it route or RTB status.
The position of the ELINT Plane to the Tanker was less then 200mn and less then 500nm.
I tried to get information on the Elint Plane (Santiago seven zero seven thre five one C) but couldnt find eny source that says if this plane is capable of air refuel or not.

So I would like to ask the CMANO Staff, how is it in DB? is it airrefuel capable? And in reality is it?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		If you look in the database under "properties" you can see if a plane is capable of refueling and if it needs a boom tanker (like KC-135) or a drogue tanker.

Example, here is the ES-3 Shadow ELINT plane that can do probe-drogue refueling:



RC-135 ELINT plane that can do boom refueling:



And the Spanish Boeing does not have anything listed, hence, it can NOT refuel in the air.
