Well, you called it an April Fool, which implies foolish. Would you care to enlighten us as to why it is, or are you just spouting off cluelessly, as I suspect?

As for the logistics, food will be passed up at the same time as refuelling. The aircraft will have a chemical toilet on board, and the "results" will be passed down. Flying low and slow in a planned and practiced manner is a perfectly acceptable situation for a decent pilot; after all, don't we all do it when we land? Any competent pilot can mantain straight and level slow flight - I'd suggest that it would be far more dangerous having two aircraft trying to fly in formation and transfer fuel when neither of them were designed for it!
