It is possible to “reverse refuel” on KC-135’s, although the quantities delivered are small and it takes a little longer. This is hardly a new concept.

One would think with all of the advanced video monitoring capabilities in the drones that a simple camera could have been added to let the pilot see just as much as other pilots do during the proceedure. Additionally, the boom operator also guides the pilot to the probe. Maybe even training the boom operators to share control for the proceedure.
