Charles Bolton, 18th Air Force commander, right, poses for a photo with recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross, assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing, at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 23, 2025. The aircrew obeyed an order to change their flight path and flew the KC-135 tanker towards an escalated situation on the ground. The pilots executed a precise orbit pattern over the fighter jets engaged in an air-to-ground strike, providing critical support and demonstrating exceptional coordination and professionalism in a high-stakes mission.
