IIRC correctly, during GW1, the USAF was very rigid concerning planned take-off, task and landing times. To the extent that even if planned missions cancelled the tankers till flew so they could land back at the right time to meet their next parking slot and time and fuel upload.

So they'd either have to burn it, dump it or give it away to make the expected fuel on the ground.
