On that day, 1st Lt. Virgil Hine and 1st Lt. Frank W. Seifert, flying a DH-4B, passed gasoline through a hose to another DH-4B flying beneath it carrying Capt. Lowell H. Smith and 1st Lt. John P. Richter, accomplishing the first aerial refueling.<\/p>\n<p>The KC-46, which will be represented Tuesday, is the Air Force&#8217;s newest tanker, based on the commercial Boeing 767 airliner. With a twin-engine design, it is more efficient than the older KC-135 (based on the four-engine Boeing 707 airliner) and KC-10 (based on the trijet McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airliner).<\/p>\n<p>The KC-46 is the first refueling aircraft in U.S. service to utilize a digital &#8220;vision&#8221; system to guide refueling probes into aircraft rather than physically stationing airmen at the rear of the aircraft. The setup is similar to its European rival, the Airbus A330 MRTT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAir refueling propels our nation\u2019s air power across the skies, unleashing its full potential,\u201d said Gen. Mike Minihan, Air Mobility Command commander. \u201cIt connects our strategic vision with operational reality, ensuring we can reach any corner of the globe with unwavering speed and precision. Air refueling embodies our resolve to defend freedom and project power, leaving an indelible mark on aviation history.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2023\/06\/watch-tuesday-for-joint-base-refueling-flyover-heres-when-and-where\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Air Force is celebrating 100 years of air-to-air refueling, and the 305th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will embark on aerial refueling demonstrations with mission partners throughout the United States and overseas on Tuesday. &#8220;During these flights, our air crews plan to fly at lower altitudes to allow the opportunity to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12],"tags":[24,4484,2703,4603,4986,3580],"class_list":["post-22402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ocean-county","tag-brick-nj-news","tag-featured","tag-joint-base-mcguire-dix-lakehurst","tag-kc-10-extender","tag-kc-135","tag-kc-46"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/141230-F-SF323-901.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgt2Ft-5Pk","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
