A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II assigned to the 421st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, deployed to Kadena Air Base, approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron for air refueling during a routine training over the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 30, 2025. The continuous rotation of aircraft to Kadena ensures the 18th Wing remains flexible and postured to deliver lethal and credible airpower to deter acts of aggression.
