U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Owen Derksen, a boom operator assigned to the 91st Air Refueling Squadron, prepares to refuel a C-17 Globemaster III, over the Atlantic Ocean, March 11, 2025. Boom operators are highly trained individuals who play a crucial role in expanding the global reach of the United States Air Force.
