 Aircrews from the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana, are providing key support to F-22 Raptor flight testing at Edwards AFB. While the F-22 Combined Test Force receives support from tanker crews across the country, crews from the 434th ARW have deployed one or two KC-135 Stratotankers almost every week since early October 2001 to refuel the F-22 during test missions. In all, crews have flown more than 400 hours in support of the F-22 and are considered regulars at the 418th Flight Test Squadron. The squadron manages all tankers that fly in and out of Edwards to support flight testing. |
