    Lt. Col. Debi Rieflin, 315th Operations Group aircrew training chief, watches as a 927th Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker prepares to fuel a C-17 Globemaster III July 1, 2014. C-17 Globemaster IIIs rely on aerial refueling to complete long-distance missions into and out of the theater of operations. Rieflin was a member of the initial cadre of C-17 pilot teams that flew C-17s to Charleston Air Base more than 20 years ago, and was also participating in Col. Tony Schenk’s ‘fini flight,’ an aviation tradition in which aircrew members are met by their unit comrades, family and friends and soaked with water after completing their final flight with their unit.
