RAF MILDENHALL, England – Senior Airman William Hickey, 100th Maintenance Squadron, removes air bubbles from a decal placed on the nose of KC-135 Stratotanker 58-0100 – the 100th Air Refueling Wing flagship – during a small ceremony March 14, 2012. Col. Christopher Kulas, 100th ARW commander, assisted in the application of the historic emblem, which was used by the 100th Bomb Group in World War II. The emblem was first approved in March 1944, when the 100th BG was flying B-17s out of RAF Thorpe Abbots over Nazi Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Austin M. May)
