Well, not always. But this is as close as you need to be, IMO





Unless you're flying for the French, where they put the fuel drums in the middle of a colony 100nm from base. The second machine landed on a nest under construction (pebbles, size and shape being Very Important to the male penguins to attract the good looking sheilas) and whilst pumping fuel, the aggrieved nest owner returned and started rebuilding across the skid.
