A F-22 Raptor assigned to the F-22 Raptor Aerial Demonstration Team, approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker, assigned to the 97th Air Mobility Wing, for refueling over the central United States, April 14, 2025. In-flight refueling by the KC-135 allows the F-22 Demonstration Team to travel long distances without landing, showcasing the same force-multiplying capabilities relied on in real-world operations. This not only highlights the seamless coordination between mobility and combat aircraft, but also reinforces the Air Force’s ability to deliver airpower across the globe at a moment’s notice.
