An A-10 Thunderbolt II assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., breaks away after being refueled by a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., June 30, 2017, over Missouri. The KC-135’s primary function is aerial refueling, but it can also be used for airlift and medical evacuations.

"Four A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from the 354th Fighter Squadron and the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing landed on a state highway as part of Northern Strike 21, a large-scale training exercise, in Alpena, Aug. 5"
