TANKER TUESDAY

This Tanker Tuesday we are flying with flair!

The 351st Air Refueling Squadron took their Stratotanker on a sunset flight over the North Sea while conducting aerial refueling for the 48th Fighter Wing.

Two F-15E Strike Eagles gave us a radiant farewell after filling their tanks and heading back to their training mission.

The 100th Air Refueling Wing remains an indispensable asset to USAFE-AFAFRICA and our Allied partners across the theater, bridging the gap in the sky whenever called upon.
