The 168th Wing’s KC-135 Stratotanker sits on the flight line at seventeen degrees and warms up with heaters before the aircrew arrives for an aerial refueling flight after maintenance conducts preflight checks during a “communications out” exercise at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 18, 2024. The 168th Wing conducted a vital training exercise designed to sharpen skills in operating without reliance on radios. The “communications out exercise” tested the capabilities of the 168th Maintenance Group Airmen and reinforced the importance of clear communication across maintenance and operations, ensuring seamless KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft air refueling operations.
