I am also probably missing something in all the discussion as to the extensive costs of bringing a tanker capability to F35. On the Super Hornet it is a tank that fits on the normal centerline tank pylon and can be fitted to any of the jets. Then it's a case of adding extra fuel tanks depending on how much give is required. Doesn't stop that jet still being a regular Super Hornet the next day.
