Dean Baxter, from Fairbanks International Airport Operations, sits in the cockpit of an Alaska Air National Guard KC-135 Stratotanker preparing for takeoff during a Civic Leader Flight hosted by the 168th Wing as part of Red Flag-Alaska 25-2, June 24, 2025. The event provided local leaders with a firsthand look at aerial refueling operations, strengthening ties between the military and the community. The civic leader tour fostered a deeper understanding of the wing's critical role in sustaining global mobility, extending mission reach, and maintaining a strategic advantage through its aerial refueling capabilities.
