100th ARW refuels P-8 Poseidon

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jesse Santiago, 351st Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, prepares the flying boom for aerial refueling operations over the North Sea, July 18, 2025. Aerial refueling allows other aircraft, such as fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft, to stay airborne longer without needing to land for fuel. This capability extends the operational range of the U.S. Air Force’s assets, enabling global reach and sustained operations far from home bases.
