U.S. Air Force Capt. Edward Turos, right, 351st Air Refueling Squadron instructor pilot, and 1st Lt. Patrick Gilbert, 351st ARS co-pilot, run through checks prior to an aircraft mishap at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, July 23, 2024. The scenario involved a KC-135 Stratotanker taxiing back to its hardstand being hit by a van pulling out of a hangar, with the driver not paying attention. The exercise simulated that the van hit the number one engine of the jet. Realistic training is a vital part of the U.S. Air Force's readiness and tests units' abilities to accomplish the mission.
