Answering the call: McConnell refuels ANG F-15s
An F-15 Eagle from the 142nd Fighter Wing, Oregon Air National Guard, Portland, Ore., receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., over northeast Kansas July 23, 2013. Eight F-15s were refueled by three Stratotankers during the Total Force training mission. As an Air Mobility Command base, McConnell’s mission is to deliver total force mission ready Airmen and KC-135 mobility to combatant commanders anytime, anywhere.
