First-ever dual in-flight refueling of a pair of F-35C fighters

First-ever dual in-flight refueling of a pair of F-35C fighters: "For the first time, a pair of F-35C Joint Strike Fighters have simultaneously refueled from a KC-130 tanker aircraft. The aircraft's afterburners burn an enormous amount of fuel, so an important part of most missions will be refueling before or after combat, or both. This is why the successful dual refueling is an important benchmark for the JSF family."
