KC-135 Stratotanker pilots from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., go over mission plans for a historic polar over-flight mission from Washington State to Kyrgyzstan on June 21, 2011. Pictured here are (from left) Capt. Jared Gude, of the 92nd Air Refueling Squadron; Lt. Col. Thorne Tibbitts, of the 141st Aircraft Maintenance Generation Squadron; and Maj. Jeff Schrum, of the 92nd ARS. The KC-135 Stratotanker flew over the Arctic Circle and the North Pole for the first time June 21-22 as part of an “iron swap” mission along a new, more efficient route from Moses Lake, Wash., to Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan.
