U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Dan Kaufmann, a 168th Wing boom operator, teaches Capt. Turner MacPhee, 354th Medical Group, physical therapist, how to operate a boom for in-flight refueling during Red Flag Alaska 24-2, June 13, 2024. Macphee flew on board the KC-135 aircraft to increase her skills in assisting flight crews as a physical therapist and to better understand the air refueling mission. 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.
