    U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Austin Parker, 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, boom operator, prepares to refuel an F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft over an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia on June 6, 2021. Parker requires a
    steady hand and extensive training in order to operate a specialized boom from the back of a KC-10 Extender aircraft to safely and effectively transfer aviation fuel from one military aircraft to another during flight, a process known as aerial
    refueling. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Michelle Y. Alvarez)
