2 planes flying over millionaires. Any idea what they are doing?

Was checking out Big Rice and found these 2 planes

Could be taking pictures looking for buildings built without permits, for tax purposes. Could be contracted by opp looking for weed. Could be Russian spy planes.

Definitely both US military. The plane bringing up the rear is a KC45 air refueling tanker. The plane in front is a RC135 (recon). Either just finished up a refueling operation or positioning to begin one with the KC45 having to get itself in front. Used to see this all the time over the Lake during the Cold War when they would service the big B52 bombers.
Some of the tankers are based in Dayton OH so that might explain them being in the area.

Fantastic photo.
