Great shot. Do you know how the two actually connect?

The refueler plane extends a long hose with a basket at its end. The jet fighter equipped with a refueling probe flies toward this basket. There's a valve at the tip of the probe, activated when it connects to the hose. When the probe is connected and the valve is open, the refueler plane releases the fuel flow.
