This graphic illustration celebrates the 101st anniversary of air refueling capabilities. The first successful air refueling occurred on June 27, 1923, when a DH-4B carrying Army Air Service lieutenants Virgil Hine and Frank W. Seifert passed gasoline through a hose to another DH-4B flying beneath piloted by lieutenants Lowell H. Smith and John P. Richter. MacDill Air Force Base is home to the 6th Air Refueling Wing and its core mission is to accelerate global airpower by providing air refueling, airlift, and air base support.
