U.S. Air National Guard Lt. Col. Dean Thibodeau, 168th Air Refueling Squadron commander and KC-135 pilot, and Lt. Nic Dwyer, 168th Wing KC-135 pilot conduct preflight checks from the cockpit of a KC-135 Stratotanker prior to an aerial refueling mission and an incentive flight during Red Flag Alaska at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, June 13, 2025. The 168 WG has a unique role in delivering vital air refueling support in the Pacific and Arctic regions and plays a crucial part in every Red Flag at Eielson Air Force Base, ensuring the high operational tempo and teamwork exercise are refueled. The refueling provided by the 168 WG strengthens the training and interoperability amongst the hundreds of allies and partners participating. During the iteration of Red Flag-Alaska 24-2, the 168 WG continued connecting and training with their partners and allies, including providing incentive flights to the maintainers, a physical therapist, and flight hours for the flight docs taking part in RF-Alaska.
