340th EARS
An F-22 Raptor pilot blocks out the sun to line up with the refueling boom of a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, Feb. 26, 2014. Airmen from the 340th EARS at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, make up the U.S. Air Forces Central Command’s area of responsibility main refueling squadron which supports the aircraft of Operation Enduring Freedom. Aerial refueling extends the capabilities of any aircraft by expanding the range, limited only by crew fatigue and fuel consumption of the aircraft.
