U.S. Air Force Capt. Mitchell Hooper, 97th Operations Support Squadron pilot, left, and Maj. Nick Austin, 97th Training Squadron pilot, right, operate a KC-135 Stratotanker near Altus Air Force Base, Nevada, April 14, 2025. The KC-135’s ability to refuel the F-22 Raptor midair demonstrates the Air Force’s real-world capability to project airpower anytime, anywhere. By extending the range of the F-22 Demonstration Team, aerial refueling showcases the operational flexibility and global reach that are essential to both combat readiness and public engagement missions like airshows.
