    Leadership, Airmen and civilians from the 100th Operations Support Squadron pose for a photo in front of their newly sponsored KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft, with World War II heritage nose art “Wolff Pack” at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Feb. 26, 2021. As part of a new “Adopt-a-Jet” program, squadrons at RAF Mildenhall will begin sponsoring a jet bearing a specific heritage nose art, in an effort to reconnect with 100th Bombardment Group history.

    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms and black face masks are standing in the open cargo bay of a military aircraft, holding a unit flag. The flag displays the insignia and text '100th Operations Support SQ' (Squadron), along with a blue guidon flag also marked '100 OG' and '100 OSS'. This appears to be a commemorative or unit photo taken aboard a military transport aircraft.
