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 one spouse of a F-16 pilot who posed for a picture after the flight when she was reunited with her husband.
“I would like to personally thank the community, families, friends and employers of our Airman for supporting them during this time. There were countless times that people volunteered to help families of a deployed 148th member in need,” said Col. Christopher Blomquist, 148th Fighter Wing 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.
