The Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet connected to the Boeing-owned MQ-25 Stingray drone mid-air Friday
The drone then transfered 325 pounds of fuel to the fighter jet near MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois
Footage shows the moment the Super Hornet connected to the Stingray's hose and received the jet fuel
The two aircrafts <<Aagh!>> came as close as 20 feet to each other during the in-air refueling
The use of the unmanned drone to refuel fighter jets will free up Navy personnel otherwise tasked with refueling aircrafts <<another Aagh!>> for other operations
