U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Joe Hildebrand, 63rd Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, awaits air refueling duties on a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft assigned to the 927th Air Refueling Wing, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, over the Eastern U.S., Jan. 4, 2023. Boom operators pump thousands of gallons of jet fuel into receiving aircraft which enables them to stay in the air longer and avoid landing in combat contested areas.
