Another attention grabbing headline over a loop of the most 'exciting' part of some in flight event. Having a few 'exciting' half seconds in refuel attempts is common, that is why only the best aircrews in the world do it.

The difference between applying movement or pressure. Just like an ILS doesn't require sword fighting on the controls neither should that. But I don't really know what I'm talking about since I've never done that.
