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.”
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
