Also of note is that the airplane pictured in the original article (a F-35) is not used in combat yet, nor is it likely that the limited numbers delivered by now will be rated for combat any time soon unless the US gets into a serious peer fight and actually need all their planes.

Here is a picture of 2 F35s being refueled at the same time: http://breakingdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2013/06/First_dual_F_35C_aerial_refueling.jpg http://breakingdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2013/0...
