    An aerial refueling operation is captured from the perspective of a tanker aircraft, showing a large multi-engine bomber approaching the refueling boom. The receiver aircraft, identifiable as a B-52 Stratofortress by its distinctive swept wings and eight podded engines, is positioned directly behind the tanker's refueling boom. The tanker's tail markings are partially visible, showing '100' and 'ARW' (Air Refueling Wing) on its stabilizer surfaces.

    A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, RAF Mildenhall, England, to receive fuel during a strategic bomber mission off the northern Norwegian coast, June 3, 2020. The Arctic is a strategic region with growing geopolitical and global importance, and strategic bomber missions familiarize aircrew with air bases and operations in different Geographic Combatant Command’s areas of operations.
