The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service reported that young scholars from the Maine Summer Transportation Institute at the University of Maine visited airmen from the 101st Air Refueling Wing at the Maine Air National Guard base. “It’s great because it’s an awareness opportunity for the students who may not know about the Maine Air National Guard and what the Airmen of the 101st do here. It’s my understanding that these tankers not only can conduct mid-air refueling, but also act as cargo transport, and that’s pretty cool. The fact of the matter is, these kids haven’t seen this craft up close like this, and I know they’re just in awe,” said Phil Dunn, professor of construction engineering technology.
