U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Ethan Parker, 909th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, prepares for an inflight refueling mission over the Indo-Pacific theater, April 20, 2022. Boom operators like Parker play an important role in air refueling operations by directly controlling the "boom" which transfers fuel to other aircraft mid-flight, allowing extended operation time.
