Refueling Wing Linchpin to Allied Training
Technical Sgt. Steve Hood, 756th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, refuels a 175th Wing Maryland Air National Guard A-10C Thunderbolt II while en route to Iceland Aug. 3, 2017. Two 459th Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotankers and their crews embarked on a mission last week to provide en route refueling support to the 175 WG as the ANG unit made their way to Estonia to participate in a state partnership program. During the leg from Maryland to a layover in Iceland, the single KC-135 unloaded 33,100 pounds of fuel to five A-10s. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Kat Justen)
