Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Aircraftman Ben Watson, an aviation refueler from the No. 17 Squadron, poses for a photo after refueling a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor at RAAF Base Tindal, Northern Territory, Australia, July 23, 2023. Watson mainly refuels RAAF F-35A Lightning IIs, but worked with USAF Airmen to refuel mobility aircraft and F-22 Raptors assigned to the 199th Air Expeditionary Squadron. The unit is known as the Hawaiian Raptors Squadron, comprised of the 19th and the 199th Fighter Squadrons, during Talisman Sabre 23, Australia’s largest bilateral military exercise. “The coolest part of my job is being around the F-35s and working together with foreign forces,” said Watson. “It’s pretty sweet.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman J.
