    Retired Senior Master Sgt. Jack Barnes examines a KC-135R Stratotanker April 30, 2022, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Barnes was assigned to the historic aircraft for three years. He supported the first air refueling team to be awarded the McKay Trophy in 1967, an honor reserved for aviators who demonstrate the highest skill levels by performing the 'most meritorious flight of the year. The Stratotanker, numbered 60-0329, is recognized as the first refueling platform to administer a tri-level refueling procedure, which is believed to have saved the lives of U.S. Navy pilots during the Vietnam conflict.
