    A KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing flies over the Cascade National Park as part of Operation Centennial Contact over the state of Washington, June 27, 2023. The movement, which included stops at Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore and Glacier National Park, was part of Air Mobility Command’s celebration of 100 years air refueling operations and demonstrated the 92nd ARW’s global reach capabilities. Since its inception in 1923, Air refueling has become a crucial component of military and civilian aviation operations around the world by extending the range and endurance of aircraft and enabling them to complete missions that would otherwise be impossible or require multiple stops.
