Fairchild Fuels B-52 during no-notice NORI

Tech. Sgt. Wesley Laprairie, an inflight refueling specialist assigned to the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, prepares to refuel a B-52 Stratofortress over the Pacific Northwest July 18, 2024. The 92nd Air Refueling Wing and 141st ARW’s ability to rapidly generate airpower at a moment’s notice was put to the test when Air Mobility Command’s Inspector General team conducted a no-notice Nuclear Operational Readiness Inspection, July 16–18, 2024. During the NORI, Airmen demonstrated how various capabilities at Fairchild AFB enable units to generate and provide, when directed, specially trained and equipped KC-135 Stratotanker aircrews to conduct critical air refueling of U.S. Strategic Command-assigned strategic bomber and command and control aircraft.

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Daniel Schone, a 92nd Air Refueling Squadron pilot, flies a KC-135 Stratotanker as part of Operation Centennial Contact out of Fairchild Air force Base, Wash., June 27, 2023. The movement, which included stops at Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, and Glacier National Park, was part of Air Mobility Command’s celebration of 100 years air refueling operations and demonstrated the 92nd Air Refueling Wing’s global reach capabilities. Since its inception in 1923, Air refueling has become a crucial component of military and civilian aviation operations around the world by extending the range and endurance of aircraft and enabling them to complete missions that would otherwise be impossible or require multiple stops. As a result, this capability is essential for strategic and tactical operations, as well as humanitarian relief efforts in support of AMC, U.S. Transportation Command and Department of Defense priorities.
