Indy Civic Leaders (Rotarians) Visit Grissom

By on April 20, 2010

The flight provided the civic leaders with a firsthand look at the 434th Air Refueling Wing and its aerial refueling mission as the tanker provided in flight refueling to a C-17 Globemaster III. “That was awesome,” said Deborah Hyde, one of the civic leaders, after the flight. The Stratotanker crew consisted of four reservists from the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron. The C-17 was manned by an Air Force Reserve crew from Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command, and its aircraft and personnel routinely deploy around the world to support the Air Force mission.
