澳大利亚空军 E-7A“楔尾”预警机接近 KC-30A 加油机准备对接加油管，这是两者间首次进行空中加油实验。KC-30A 采用17米长的硬杆伸缩加油套管系统，每分钟输出4500升燃油。本轮实验中共出动7架次，进行了118次干式对接，6次空中加油，输送20吨燃料。（The first Royal Australian Air Force air-to-air refuelling of the E-7A Wedgetail by the KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircraft. From 1-13 June 2015, air-to-air refuelling (AAR) trials were conducted between a RAAF KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) and an E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft for the first time. The KC-30A utilised its 17-metre-long Aerial Refuelling Boom System, which is capable of offloading fuel at up to 4500 litres per minute. During the trials, a total of seven sorties were flown by each aircraft, during which they conducted 118 'dry' contacts with the KC-30A's refuelling boom, and six 'wet' contacts, with a 20 tonnes of fuel being transferred. The trials were conducted under the direction of the Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU), and will allow a significant increase in mission range and endurance for the Wedgetail.）
