Like some fighter jet refuelings (6)

I believe the answer is:

midair

(Other definitions for midair that I've seen before include "At some point above the ground" , "In process of flight" , "Above ground level" , "like that of a lark" , "Like some plane collisions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal.
