    18th Wing

    A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II assigned to the 356th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, deployed to Kadena Air Base, conducts aerial refueling with a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron, over the Pacific Ocean, Dec. 11, 2025. The reception of advanced fighter aircraft at Kadena ensures the 18th Wing remains postured to deliver lethal and credible airpower to ensure the defense of U.S. allies and a free and open Indo-Pacific.
