Uh. What am I missing? Mid-air refueling is pretty complicated. On ground refueling is... just refueling.

Too bad, the Russians beat us to it refueling on an Iceberg with a Submarine

My guess is midair refueling from a C-130 to an F-22 would be out of the question. The F-22 would have to be near stall speed with a ridiculous angle of attack to try to hook up.

In the early 80s the USMC called it a FAARP (Forward Arming and Air Refueling Point). We used USA CH-47s as the fuel providers.
