A U.S. Air Force AC-130 receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 91st Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Jan. 6, 2023. The 91 EARS aircrew are responsible for delivering fuel throughout the CENTCOM AOR, enabling a constant presence of U.S. aircraft in the region. About 30 seconds into the video, the aircrew also experienced the phenomenon of St. Elmo’s Fire while flying through weather, looking like static electricity discharging on the windscreen. St. Elmo's Fire occurs through electric friction caused by specific weather conditions. (U.S. Air Force video by Tech. Sgt. Diana M. Cossaboom)
