    U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. George Bender of the 168th Wing, 168th Maintenance Group, stands in front of his art mural hanging in the MXG hangar, Sept. 29, 2023. His art including the wing's polar bear patch design and the Alaska Aurora is currently on the MXG unit patch worn on the shoulders of all the MXG members, representing their pride in their maintenance craftsmanship. Bender serves as a Chief Master Sgt. in the 168th Wing, 168th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, and during his off-duty hours away from the unit, he delves into his love and passion for art as a professional tattoo artist in Fairbanks, Alaska. Over the years, Bender has drawn and developed designs for the KC-135 Stratotanker nose art, unit patches, and various projects for unit organizations such as Top 3.
