    @ThatsAHotTopic that's what I thought you meant, but it's not usually called "docking", it's called air to air refueling usually. And those lights are known as "director lights". If you're not in the correct position relative the boom, there will be red and green up and down/side to side arrows to indicate to the receiver to move appropriately.

    @ChiChiWerx not really, this is an old plane ive had for a while and i forgot what the light system was called, but it just basically guides pilots to the boom
