up for a practice dog fight tick and the rest of the group fly at nearly the speed of sound across germany to poland then it's time to top off the tanks. in formations of four, they fly under a fuel tanker, a flying gas station. the f-16 pilots have to fly at exactly the right speed and altitude so a retractable fuel pipe called a boom slips into a port on the roof of the jet where the pilot can't see it with equal skill, a boom operator guides the fueling pole home all while traveling at over 500 miles an hour. sometimes it takes a few tries when the boom locks on, over a thousand gallons are pumped in in a few minutes with 17 years experience, tick

sticks it on the first try he keeps it steady the tanker so close we can almost touch it. then he's off. and the dog fight begins the jets are broken into two teams. blue representing the u.s. and red for the hostiles the u.s. military won't say who that is meant to represent, but the russian border isn't far >> all right i'm starting to see it now at our 11:00 >> reporter: so why all this big expensive exercise with dozens of aircraft? it could be russia has been trying to bully american forces recently a russian patrol in syria last month first challenged, then rammed at american patrols injuring several american soldiers russian forces have been more assertive in the black sea and
