@sharky- actually it wasn't. But refueling requires precision flying by both, the tanker and the receiver. If the receiving aircraft is large, like this one, the fuel transfer rate is about ~1,000gallon/min. It can get dicey when clear air turbulence is encountered, Sig..
Very original photography.
