The Air Force has expanded its reach in the Pacific by refueling an airborne strategic bomber and a special operations aircraft from a commercial tanker for the first time.
Last month, the U.S. Air Force marked a significant milestone when an Omega Aerial Refueling Services-operated KDC-10 tanker refueled a B-52 Stratofortress for the first time in history, demonstrating an innovative approach to enhancing military readiness and operational flexibility.
