A boom from a KC-135 Stratotanker is visible as it flies Dec. 15 over Wake Island. The KC-135 is from the 74th Air Refueling Squadron, part of the 434th Air Refueling Wing from Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. Wake Island was devastated by 185 mile per hour winds and a storm surge caused by Super Typhoon Ioke in August of this year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Shane A. Cuomo)
