[serious] What happens if the boom touches the aircraft or worse - smashes the windscreen?

There is not enough source material here to produce a meaningful analytical summary. The submission is a Reddit post title with a linked image — no article body, no reported facts, no named sources, no regulatory citations, and no verifiable developments. The research context field is also empty.

Writing a 3–5 paragraph analysis would require fabricating content, which would be unreliable and potentially misleading to professional pilots relying on accurate information.

**To proceed, please provide one of the following:**

- The full text of a news article, NTSB/FAA report, or industry publication on the topic - A working URL to a substantive article that can be retrieved and researched - Additional research context describing the specific incident, aircraft type, operator, regulatory response, or other factual details

If the intent is to cover **aerial refueling boom contact incidents** (a legitimate and serious topic for military and tanker operations), sourced material from USAF safety center reports, Aviation Herald incident logs, or trade publications would allow for a proper analysis.
