Boom operators, ready to fuel

Senior Airman Anthonie Owens, 376th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, runs through a boom operator manual on board a KC-135 Stratotankers to ensure required checklist items are complete, prior to making contact with a refueling aircraft over the mountains of Afghanistan, Dec. 15, 2013. KC-135s deployed to the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, routinely refuel aircraft conducting operations in Afghanistan to ensure 24-hour coverage of the area. Owens is deployed from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., and is a native of Dayton, Ohio. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Travis Edwards)
