Uzbek native returns to Central Asia as U.S. Airman

MANAS AIR BASE, KYRGYZSTAN -- Lt. Col. Jorg Kaltenegger, Tech. Sgt. Kelman Khersonsky and Maj. Scott Rushe are all smiles after completing one of their last refueling missions in support of operations in Afghanistan the morning of Oct. 29. The three were among more than 100 Pennsylvania Air National Guardsmen deployed here from Pittsburgh's 171st Air Refueling Wing. For Sergeant Khersonsky, the month-long deployment was extra special; his daily routine as a KC-135 boom operator took him within sight of his childhood home of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
