Capt. John Tucker, assigned to the Hawaii Air National Guard's 204th Airlift Squadron at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, prepares to engage a C-17 Globemaster III in aerial refueling with a KC-135 from the 909th Air Refueling Squadron out of Kadena Air Base, Japan, while en route to China May 17, 2008.
