Each Phantom refueled four times from the tankers, at the altitude of 300 ft (100 m), which was risky and far below any safety standards[1] (aerial refueling is normally performed at 22,000 ft (6,700 m))
The whole mission was flown below 300 feet over Turkish mountains in the night. 2 Boing 747 tankers refueled the F-4 below 300 feet altitude.
F-14 was just for Top-cover and did not leave Iranian territory.
