A B-52 Stratofortress receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker, above Minnesota, July 31, 2016. Four of McConnell’s KC-135s assisted in refueling two B-52s to reach an exercise, Polar Roar, in the Arctic Circle. Polar Roar will involve three nonstop, simultaneous routes of flight of strategic bombers, to include B-52s and B-2 Spirits to demonstrate the ability to provide a flexible and vigilant long-range global-strike capability.
