A reference quote that the word "cistern" is used in the context of aircraft fueling, among others:
"Right: Several F-4D Phantoms receive fuel in the air from a cistern KC-135 in 1972. The aircraft closer to the camera is carrying two laser guided bombs Paveway of 907 kgs (2,000 pounds) plus a laser aiming equipment known as “Pave Knife”. This combination of plane and weapon was the one who finally destroyed the Ham Rung on May 13 1972.
