A KC-135R Stratotanker flies in formation with two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 18th Fighter Squadron and two A-10 Wathog IIs from the 355th FS May 29 near Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The five aircraft assigned to Eielson AFB flew in formation for the last time due to the deactivation of the 355th FS and the 18th FS. The tanker is assigned to the Alaska Air National Guard's 168th Air Refueling Wing. The KC-135R along with tankers from Grand Forks AFB, N.D., and MacDill AFB, Fla., are providing air refueling support to aircraft for the joint exercise Red Flag-Alaska, lasting through June 8.
