A Joint Base Charleston C-17 Globemaster III, flown by a 701st Airlift Squadron aircrew, performs a night, aerial  refueling with a KC-135 Stratotanker earlier this month. Aerial refueling gives our C-17's a virtually unlimited range to go anywhere in the world. This is just one of the many regular training tasks 315th Airlift Wing pilots accomplish to maintain their global reach capabilities. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Capt.
