Who would be flying that close to a refueling op, and why?I would guess the photo is taken from the tanker, which is there for the purpose of performing the refueling.

Unlikely given the perspective, I would think.

More likely another FA-18 took the pic.

The hose and drogue refueling rigs are on the wingtips of KC-135 aircraft, so that would be an easy photo to get. Two of these aircraft can be refueled at the same time.
