    A KC-46A Pegasus from the 157th Air Refueling Wing prepares to refuel another KC-46A from the wing as part of a 36-hour endurance mission, Nov. 16.

    The long-duration sortie took place from Nov. 16-17 and was crewed by active duty and Air National Guard Airmen from Pease, who flew the jet non-stop from New Hampshire, across North America and the Pacific Ocean, around Guam, and back home again. The proof-of-concept operation showcased the ability of the Air Force’s newest tanker to project the force in the modern battle space. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt.
