Operation Centennial Contact

A KC-135 Stratotankers assigned to the 151st Air Refueling Wing and two F-35s assigned to Hill Air Force Base fly over the Utah state capital at Salt Lake City, Utah, during Operation Centennial Contact, June 27, 2023. During the operation, more than 150 aircraft flew above communities around the country and across the world to honor 100 years of air refueling excellence. Aerial refueling serves as a force multiplier, increasing the speed, range, lethality, flexibility and versatility of combat aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sergeant Thomas Barley)
