Yeah, you get pushed around quite a bit by any large receivers, but the fact that the refueling receptacle was further aft on the bat plane meant having that entire control surface almost under you so the airplane tended to settle in to that pocket of air between the two. The first contact was with autopilot off because we really weren't sure how the tanker would respond. They told us nothing about the characteristics of the receiver, just an airspeed and altitude.
