Salute!

As much as I loved being the only one in the jet, I have to go with Global.

True, we lights could refuel from a drone, but the big tanker needs more human systems besides the boom-op and a good pilot in the front seat.

In a last ditch situation, I can see a pilot taking off with a boom-op to do the mission. But not a routine operational requirement or employment.
