Mark Baran, 22nd Air Refueling Wing vice commander, April 30, 2020, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. The flight was the last of two training missions to certify aircrews using night vision goggles on the new platform. This allowed aircrews to begin operational testing and evaluation in low-light emission environments. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Marc A. Garcia)
