Two airmen have set a new monthly record, each pumping a million gallons of aviation fuel to aircraft in Southwest Asia during the month of November, reports the Dec. 10 Desert Eagle. SrA. Chrystanya Morgan-Buford and SrA. Matthew Turner accomplished a feat that their flight commander, Capt. Kristy Herman, says is “almost unheard of.” Herman went on to say, “At any other base, for one individual to pump a million gallons takes months or more often years.”
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
