An F-22 Raptor assigned to the 477th Fighter Group receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing during exercise Royal Flush over Alaska, May 3, 2024. During the second phase of the two-part exercise, aircrews provided fuel to over 54 receiving aircraft. Royal Flush was a two-part Air Mobility Command readiness exercise that evaluated the ability to rapidly respond and execute mobility fundamentals and non-standard techniques to provide global mobility at a moment’s notice. During the second part of the exercise, Team Fairchild demonstrated the ability to rapidly deploy aircraft, cargo and personnel to an unfamiliar location and immediately resumed and sustained air refueling operations without traditional support elements. This exercise demonstrated how AMC forces prepare, posture and present ready air mobility forces to support national security objectives. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Haiden Morris)
