Another attention grabbing headline over a loop of the most 'exciting' part of some in flight event. Having a few 'exciting' half seconds in refuel attempts is common, that is why only the best aircrews in the world do it. The hige majority of in flight refueling world wide is via 'probe and drogue' which while still challenging is less 'exciting'.
