An Omega KDC-10 commercial air-to-air refueler flies alongside a U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress assigned to the 49th Test and Evaluation Squadron, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana over the Pacific Ocean after successfully providing air-to-air refueling to the B-52 for the first time, March 10, 2024. Leveraging the capability of commercial air-to-air refueling allows the U.S. Air Force to increase warfighter readiness in the priority theater and around the globe. The KDC-10 transited from Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam completing four successful, safe contacts with the B-52 and a U.S. Air Force MC-130J. (Courtesy Photo)
