Lt. Col. Jason Zimmermann, 465th Air Refueling Squadron runs through pre-flight inspection prior to launch. This week marked the end of the government shutdown and the resumption of normal air refueling operations here at the 507th ARW. This operation took the KC-135 Stratotanker north to refuel two B-52 Bombers out of 5th Bomb Wing, Minot AFB, Minot N.D. Also along for the ride were pilots Lt. Col. Marvin Ashbaker and Lt. Col. Paul Ihrig and boom operator, Staff Sgt. Mike Moore. Lt. Col. Ashbaker was on a check ride during the flight and was evaluated by Lt. Col. Ihrig. The B-52s received their “gas and go” in the skies between Indiana and Kansas. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Mark Hybers)
