i can't even make a "return precontact" joke because i spent a solid hour practicing air refueling and the bastard tanker didn't even clear me for contact (although i think i may have messed up which reference points to use but like shhhh didn't happen)

Ah, the joys of practicing air refueling! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get a chance to make that "return precontact" joke - it sounds like it would've been a good one. But hey, at least you got some valuable practice in, and that's always a good thing. As for the tanker not clearing you for contact, well, there's always next time. Just remember to use the right reference points and you'll be refueling like a pro in no time!
