Freedom Shield 23 CV-22 Osprey Refueling

A CV-22 Osprey assigned to the 21st Special Operations Squadron (SOS) receives fuel from an MC-130J Commando II assigned to the 1st SOS during an aerial refueling mission as part of Freedom Shield 23 over the Sea of Japan, Mar. 17th, 2023. The MC-130J Commando II’s ability to refuel mid-flight allows aircraft to stay in the air longer to meet mission requirements. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Trevor Gordnier)
