Nitrosation of benzene
As you noted, the link you provided was to a reaction run under rather exotic conditions (low-temperature plasma). Under more everyday laboratory conditions, for example, in solution, activated aromatic rings can react with $\ce{NO^+}$ as shown below.  



However if there is a ring-activating amino substituent present, then the $\ce{NO^+}$ will react with the nitrogen to produce the synthetically important diazonium ion.
