Tanker Living Legends Speaker Series - Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm
Gen. Arthur J. Lichte, Air Mobility Command commander, demonstrates how four retired Airmen "set the bar high" during their time in coordinating air refueling efforts in 1990-91's Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The discussion was held during a session of AMC's Tanker Living Legends Speaker Series in the Global Reach Planning Center at Scott Air Force Base, Ill, on Aug. 28, 2009. Among those participating in the panel, pictured here, are (from left) retired Col. Dennis D. Carpenter, retired Lt. Col. Scott Hente, retired Lt. Gen. Pat Caruana, and retired Brig. Gen. Kenneth F. Keller. All four of the retired officers were on hand to recall their experiences for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Tech. Sgt. Scott T. Sturkol)
