Maybe not, if the aiframe is warm enough. The picture on I believe post 13 does have what appears to be fuel streaming off the upper wing surface. My guess is that was a photo run, not enough Mach (mumble) time to heat up the airframe to seal up the tanks.

That photo looks like it could have been taken from a tanker, and the fuel you see is left over from disconnect.
