We saw this photo making the rounds on Air Force social media and thought our audience would enjoy it too! What a shot! 

A U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle departs after receiving fuel from a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, assigned to the 50th Expeditionary Aircraft Refueling Squadron, during an air refueling mission over Southwest Asia. The F-15E Strike Eagle is a dual-role fighter designed to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, demonstrating @usafcent's posture to deter regional aggressors. @usairforce
