A WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft, assigned to the 55th Wing, approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft, assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing, to receive in-flight refueling over Montana, Oct. 17, 2024. The WC-135 samples gaseous debris in the atmosphere to detect radioactivity in support of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, which prohibits any nation from above ground nuclear weapons testing. The KC-135’s aerial refueling capability enables aircraft like the WC-135 to extend their mission range and duration to maximize efficiency. During this flight, both KC-135 and WC-135 pilots completed training requirements to maintain mission readiness. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Gomez)
