Distinguished Flying Cross recipients from the 6th Air Refueling Wing listen to remarks during the ceremony 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.
