    A Romanian air force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft makes contact with a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft for the first time Feb. 28, 2017, during air refueling training over Bucharest, Romania. With the help of the U.S. Air Force 100th Air Refueling Wing and one of their Stratotankers, the RoAF became certified to refuel from all U.S. KC-135s, strengthening partnerships and regional stability.

    A group of approximately ten military personnel in olive/green flight suits are seated around a blue conference table in a briefing room. They appear to be engaged in a mission briefing or debriefing session, with documents and papers spread on the table and a projected presentation visible on a screen in the background. Multiple national flags are displayed along the walls, suggesting a multinational military exercise or NATO-related event.
