Aerial refueling, also referred to as air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), air-to-air refueling (AAR), and tanking, is the process of transferring aviation fuel from one military aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_refueling

You were still a fighter wing in my days, but I can say as a flyer that any time we could schedule a refueling with an ANG wing we loved it and knew we could count on them being there. Something not always true with active duty wings.

More fun than a Disney "E Ticket" ride for those who remember those days. This is me in precontact position just prior to opening the air refueling doors.
