"The Air force now has an in-flight refueling capability..."

The Argentines had in-flight refuelling capability even before 1982. Their AAR aircraft were heavily used during the conflict.

All the early variant Skyhawks as used in 1982 have been retired. The Argentines use the A-4AR Fighting Hawk. Some of the (Daggers) Mirage Vs that they used and received after the conflict underwent a modernisation and are now named Fingers.
