I was in KC-10s as a boom and flying in Iraq that day/night April 6th and 7th and we lost a receiver. F-15E. On that specific day I refueled a RC-135, a few flights of A-10s and one F-15E (looked in my log book). We had to descend for some A-10s and I asked what they were up to. The flight lead said "Do you see that dam down there? We just took out a AAA peice on it". My AC was a little concerned because we had to get pretty low for those guys.
During the shock and awe portion if OIF I remember refueling A-10s, F-16s, F-15Es, Tornadoes, Harriers, and etc...Fully loaded.
A lot of the time, the pilots would be breathing pretty heavily when they returned with their wings empty. That was if you could hear them on the interphone.
On one mission a viper guy told me they were "Killing guys in a graveyard". It was a Full Metal Jacket moment for me lol.
I guess this is what they were up to in between refueling?
Get some!
