Do the planes and refueling trucks seem to be too close to each other safety wise?

Each pair being further from another pair would reduce risk to adjacent planes in the event a fire occurs.

I just got a request from a friend ... maybe anyone can help him:

I've got a small thing I'm hoping you can help me with. I've done some
artwork for decals based on the attached photo. I'm assuming you have
contributors who speak Chinese, and if so could you run this by one. I'd
like to have someone 'proofread' it, as the photo isn't the best
quality. I did look up some posters celebrating "Long live Chairman
Mao", and I think I've got the characters right, but I'd like to make sure.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your friend did a good job replicating the characters from the photograph. The only sort of problem I see is that the 岁 character's bottom stroke is a little off. However, this is not a problem since the same stroke is present in the original photo.

It might be an issue of Simplified vs Traditional Chinese.

This is what the traditional character for 岁 looks like: 歲.

Besides, simplified Chinese was common in the Mainland during the 1960s, around the time the Mig-21 was introduced to China.
