From the ground up, POL makes missions happen

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Staff Sgt. Joshua Pagel, right, 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, hooks up a fuel nozzle to the receptacle on a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 92nd Air Refueling Wing, Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., as fellow 92nd AMXS crew chief, Staff Sgt. Robert Valdez, assists. Although fuels personnel from RAF Mildenhall connect the pantograph to the supply, they are not allowed to touch the connection that physically fits onto any transient aircraft. The aircraft belongs to another base, so the crew chiefs of the transient aircraft must do the final stages of connection before 100th LRS fuels Airmen complete the refueling.
