Thunderbird Refueling

Lt. Col. Brant Abraham and Capt. Bryce Sager, KC-135 Stratotanker pilots assigned to the Air Force Reserve 18th Air Refueling Squadron, 931st Air Refueling Group, go through their after-takeoff checklist after lifting off from McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., May 21, 2015.

The KC-135 aircrews, all Air Force Reservists from the 931st Air Refueling Group, provided several air refuelings for the Thunderbirds, taking them from Nellis AFB, Nev., to Long Island MacArthur Airport, Islip, N.Y., ensuring the demonstration team made it to their May 23 flight demonstration at the Jones Beach Air Show in Wantagh, N.Y.
