Kenneth Goulding, a 92nd Maintenance Squadron transient alert aircraft servicer, taxies in a KC-135 Stratotanker from McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., April 26, 2016, at Fairchild AFB, Wash. Because of its ramp space, logistical capabilities and maintenance facilities, Fairchild AFB received six KC-135 Stratotankers that were evacuated from McConnell AFB due to projected severe weather.

Senior Airman Nicholas Bouselli, a 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron emergency management journeyman, opens the lid of a metal drum containing the clothes of those directly exposed by the chemicals Aug. 12, 2015, at Pacific Steal and Recycling in Spokane, Wash. Fairchild Air Force Base emergency management Airmen employed a variety of their skills to handle the decontamination operations during a leak of chlorine gas that resulted in the hospitalization of at least four people, two of whom were in critical condition, and at least 17 others who were downwind of the plume.

A KC-135 Stratotanker connects with a B-52H Stratofortress from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., during an aerial refueling mission over the Alaskan coastline as part of exercise Amalgam Dart 15-2 May 28, 2015. The annual North American Aerospace Defense Command exercise affords American and Canadian forces field training aimed at improving NORAD's operational capability in a binational environment. The exercise spanned two forward operating locations in Canada’s Northwest Territories, two U.S. Air Force bases in Alaska, and a mobile radar site in Resolute, Nunavut, as well as the sky over much of NORAD’s area of responsibility.

A 22nd Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker from McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., is prepped for an exercise Amalgam Dart 15-2 aerial refueling mission May 29, 2015, at Eielson AFB, Alaska. During Amalgam Dart, U.S. Air Force KC-135s, alongside Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130T Hercules and CC-150T Polaris tanker crews, had numerous opportunities to practice bilateral aerial refueling with aircraft ranging from U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagles and RCAF CF-18 Hornets, to U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors, an E-3 Sentry (AWACS) and a B-52H Stratofortress.

Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornets fly alongside a 22nd Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker as the CF-18s each take turns refueling from a multi-point refueling system pod during exercise Amalgam Dart 15-2 May 29, 2015, over the Arctic Ocean. These pod modifications enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the Air Force's aerial refueling fleet, enabling KC-135s to refuel NATO and U.S. Navy aircraft. The KC-135 was from McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., and operated by a 92nd Air Refueling Wing crew from Fairchild AFB, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
Staff Sgt. Shawna Sims connects with an F-22 Raptor fighter for aerial refueling over British Columbia, Canada, during exercise Amalgam Dart 15-2 at Eielson AFB, Alaska, May 27, 2015. The exercise spanned two forward operating locations in Canada’s Northwest Territories, two U.S. Air Force bases in Alaska, and a mobile radar site in Resolute, Nunavut, as well as the skies over much of the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s area of responsibility. Sims is a 92nd Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 Stratotanker boom operator from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
The throttles of a 92nd Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., enable pilots to control the aircraft’s four massive CFM International CFM-56 turbofan engines on the way to exercise Amalgam Dart 15-2 at Eielson AFB, Alaska, May 27, 2015. The KC-135’s engines each produce 21,634 pounds of thrust, propelling the aerial refueling and airlift aircraft at speeds up to 530 mph at 30,000 feet. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
Airmen from the 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron work together to deice a KC-135 Stratotanker Jan. 29, 2014, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Aircraft deicing is a process in which liquid solutions are sprayed onto an aircraft during the winter to both defrost and prevent future precipitation from freezing. Snow and ice on the wings and rear tail component change their shape and disrupt the airflow making it difficult to fly and diminishes fuel economy. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Alexandre Montes)
Fairchild Air Force Base firefighters join other regional firefighters as they don their self-contained breathing apparatuses to perform decontamination support near the spill zone of a hazardous materials incident Sept. 14, 2014, near the Washington-Idaho state line. Four firefighters, one technician and a variety of support staff as well as the base’s mobile decontamination and rehabilitation unit joined two dozen other firefighters, trucks and equipment from Spokane regional fire districts in response to the incident.
