Alaska Air National Guard 168th Wing KC-135 Stratotankers featuring tail flashes named after Alaska villages approach the runway in preparation for takeoff before the naming ceremony on July 31, 2025, at Eielson Air Force Base. Representatives from the villages looked on as the aircraft departed, marking the continuation of a celebration honoring the strong bond between the 168th Wing and interior Alaska communities. The wing began officially naming aircraft tail flashes in 2020, with the first KC-135 named after the village of Minto. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Julie Avey)
