An in-flight refueling assembly for an aircraft to be refueled by a fuel dispensing aircraft includes a refueling probe extending from the aircraft and having an electromagnet with an energized condition and a non-energized condition. A refueling probe receptacle is connected to the fuel dispensing aircraft. A superconductor is connected to the receptacle such that the refueling probe becomes aligned with the receptacle when the electromagnet is placed in the energized condition.
