Aircrew and Distinguished Flying Cross recipients reflect after receiving the DFC award during a ceremony at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 23, 2025. The aircrew obeyed an order to change their flight path and flew the KC-135 tanker towards an escalated situation on the ground. The pilots executed a precise orbit pattern over the fighter jets engaged in an air-to-ground strike,
providing critical support and demonstrating exceptional coordination and professionalism in a high-stakes mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Alexander Cook)
