Actually, in-flight refueling was first done in the 1920's to prove the concept possible, but it was not done again to the knowledge of this contributor until the 1950's. Since then, military aircraft have done it routinely. * It should be noted that an element of danger is involved. In the 1960's a B-52 bomber and KC-135 tanker crashed into each other while refueling off the coast of Spain. All aboard both planes were killed, and three nuclear bombs were lost in deep water, requiring an expensive and dangerous recovery operation.

Those seagulls would weigh two pounds whether they were sitting in the airplane or flying in it. This is because they have push the air below them (in the airplane) down with two pounds of force to keep two pounds in the air. So, yes, the seagulls would add 2000 pounds to the airplane's weight.

How filling fuel a airplane while flying?
There will be a refueling plane which contains only fuel. A long hose or pipe will be lowered from the refueling plane. A plane which is to be refueled will have a hole which goes to fuel tank. The pipe will be injected into the hole. The fuel will flow through the pipe. The plane gets refueled.Then the pipe or hose is drawn back.
