An F-35A assigned to the 461st Flight Test Squadron, Edwards Air Force Base, California, receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 452nd Air Mobility Wing, March Air Reserve Base, California. Leveraging Air Force Reserve Command assets helps extends time on station in the R-2508 airspace during critical flight testing when organic test support-tankers are unavailable. Without aerial refueling, the time to complete test points is greatly extended due to the hours associated with landing and maintenance. (Courtesy photo)
