Master Sgt. Justin Hughes, 79th Air Refueling Squadron, directs forklift operations from the side of a KC-46 Pegasus prior to static load expeditionary training at Travis Air Force Base, April 10, 2026. Several pallets from a Single Pallet Expeditionary Kitchen (SPEK) set are loaded onto the aircraft during ground training with the 79th ARS. The event introduced side-loading operations on the KC-46, marking a first for Travis AFB, while emphasizing safety and coordination between units. During the training, 349th FSS personnel integrated with aircrew operations while 79th ARS Airmen conducted specialized fueling operations and ground-station proficiency tasks, enhancing interoperability and readiness for deployments in austere environments.
