"Probe & Drogue" AAR & Private Finance Initiative Tanker Fleet videos:
Couldn't find any decent quality Tristar examples but the principles remain unchanged in 60+ years - its' just the equipment that gets better and more efficient over time.
Relatively new RAF Voyager tanker + Typhoon fighters - UK to Nellis AFB, NV for Ex RED FLAG. Nice views of the latest AAR Mission Systems Officer's control panel - $TMPS could upgrade their Tristars if they wanted to spend the money.

RAF Voyager tanker + RAF Typhoon & French AF Rafale fighters (another potential customer for $TMPS - the French AF has very few tankers - replacing 14 x KC-135 with 9 x A330 MRTT).

Night AAR - RAF Voyager tanker + RAF Tornado GR4 en-route to mission over Iraq:

How the RAF tanker fleet is now provided entirely by a Private Finance Initiative partnership with a civilian contractor with both military and civilian / military reservist crews. Looking to the distant future (years), who knows what contracts $TMPS might be able to get to provide a similar capability to smaller, first-rate air forces that maintain an AAR capability but can't afford their own tanker fleet:
