A U.S. Airman assigned to the 121st Air Refueling Wing walks between an F-35A Lightning II, assigned to the F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team, and a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 121st ARW on the flight line during the Columbus Air Show at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Columbus, Ohio, June 19, 2026.
