Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner presents Staff Sgt. Ethan Wheeler of Trenton, Illinois, assigned to the 126th Operations Support Squadron a congratulatory letter for being selected to receive the U.S. Air National Guard’s Staff Sergeant Henry “Red” Erwin Outstanding Enlisted Aircrew Member of the Year Award. During the time period covered for the award, Wheeler deployed to Southwest Asia where he completed 61 combat aerial refueling missions and encountered five in-flight emergencies involving coalition fighter aircraft and his own KC-135 Stratotanker. While in theater, he also flew over 670 operational and training hours to accrue the most hours of any enlisted aircrew member in his deployed wing at that time.
