Snow, sub-freezing temps no match for Manas team

A KC-135 Stratotanker takes off from Manas Air Base Nov. 23, the morning after the first snow fall of the season. “The first snowfall is always difficult as you implement procedures under actual conditions and time lines that you cannot create during the training sessions,” said Lt. Col. Richard Nelson, 376th Expeditionary Maintenance Group commander. “Everyone maintained focus on the overall wing mission and pulled together to make it happen.” The KC-135s here provide air refueling to aircraft over Afghanistan.
