A Royal NORWEGIAN Air Force F-16A drops away after refuleing over the Balkan region from a United States Air Force KC-135R (not shown) of the 22nd Air Refueling Wing, McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, in support of NATO Operation Allied Force. The Air Mobility Command KC-135R "Stratotanker" is deployed from McConnell to Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, where it is flying as part of the 100th Air Expeditionary Wing. The NORWEGIAN F-16A is loaded out with AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and has refueled to extend its loiter time and range during a Combat Air Patrol over the former Yugolavia. Tankers from bases throughout England make up a large portion of the available refueling assets supporting NATO Operation Allied Force.
