An MV-22B Osprey, assigned to the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 163, taxis on the runway at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Sept. 16, 2024. A detachment of six Ospreys and two KC-130J Super Hercules aircraft, assigned to the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 352, flew from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, California, to Fairchild AFB, to conduct a deployment for training. The 1200-mile flight simulated a long-range flight in the Indo-Pacific region and achieved multiple qualifications for both KC-130J and MV-22B aircrew. ( Air Force Photo by Airman
