Senior Airman Keegan Salas, left, and Master Sergeant Shawna Wise, boom operators assigned to the 50th Air Refueling Squadron, pose underneath a boom on a KC-135 Stratotanker at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, March 30, 2023. Boom operators are responsible for refueling other aircraft mid-flight which enables them to stay in the air longer and avoid landing in combat contested areas. Females make up around 10% of boom operators in the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo by 2nd Lt. Kristin Nielsen)
