Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Powell, 100th Operations Group boom operator, guides a KC-135 Stratotanker boom pod as he refuels Santa's "sleigh" Dec. 8. During an eight-hour mission, the chief pumped more than 40,000 tons of fuel into 29 Royal Danish Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons and one sleigh. Precision is paramount in a boom operator's job as a lack of attention to detail could prove catastrophic. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Kevin Wallace)
