Refuelers at Red Flag 14-1.
Tech. Sgt. Mike Friend, 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron flying crew chief from McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., prepares the parking area for an incoming KC-135 Stratotanker while an HH-60 Pave Hawk from the 66th Rescue Squadron, Nellis AFB, Nev., hovers in the background here Jan 30, 2014. Friend is one of more than 3,200 military members currently participating in the combat exercise Red Flag 14-1. By providing realistic combat training in a contested, degraded and operationally limited environment, Red Flag 14-1 provides pilots with real-time combat scenarios and helps ground crews test their readiness capabilities.
