On Thursday, September 13th, the 148th Fighter Wing, partnered with the 185th Air Refueling Wing, and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve to host the 2018 ‘Spouse Lift’. The event provides guard members in the unit an opportunity to invite their significant others who have supported them through deployments for a chance to better understand ‘what they do,’ to include multiple spouses of F-16 who pose for a picture prior to the flight.
"We really appreciate all of the employers that support our guardsmen. Especially in a year where we have served our country with so many of our guardsmen being deployed and away from their work place,” said Col. Troy Havener, 148th Fighter Wing Vice Commander.
The day involved a base tour, informational briefs, and the highlight of the day gave participants a chance to see in air refueling from during the flight in a K-135 Stratotanker from the Iowa Air National Guard 185th Air Refueling in Sioux City, Iowa.
