ehofman 36f975a91b David Culp:
I was going through the Ai scenarios and see that some of them are not
necessary.

Also, I've added some documentation to the other scenarios.  And I moved the
thunderstorm over San Francisco, so you don't have to take off to see it.
The files are attached.

<!-- Notes:
The following scenario puts an aerial tanker in orbit over KSFO
at 3000 ft AGL. The tanker uses the 737 model, but you can use any
model (a KC-135 model can be found at:
http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hangar/hangar.html).
The center of the orbit is actually west of KSFO, and the eastern
edge of the orbit passes over the airport. Note that AI aircraft
do not react to wind, therefore your speed and bank angle will have
to vary along the orbit since your "user" aircraft *does* react to
the wind.
I recommend using the T-38 as your airplane for four reasons: (1) it
has a radar screen which may be needed to find the tanker; (2) it
has the speed to catch the tanker; (3) it uses a JSBSim FDM, which
means it can onload fuel; (4) it has a green light added to the
instrument panel, between the fuel gauges, which comes on when you
are in the refueling envelope.
Right now the air refueling envelope is very loose, and I plan on
tightening it up in the future. Currently no aerodynamic effects
of refueling are modeled (i.e downwash, bow wave, vortices).
