As you will have seen from my previous posts I am planning to build an HH-60G my question is what Fuel tanker would support this, I had looked for a 978 but it's discontinued. Any help much appreciated in the way of manufacturer and kit model number.

Most likely it would be either an in the ground system, or some type of civilian-style tanker. The USAF usually operates out of more improved and civilian-style bases and they bring in their own equipment. Here are some examples of USAF fuelers.
Some times they are nice enough to refuel Army helos for us too.
I think the M978 HEMTT Fueler would be acceptable though. It is now available boxed as a 2 option kit between the M977 Cargo and the M978 Fueler for the Chinese market. It can be found on eBay pretty readily.
