Royal Flush cargo loading b-roll
92nd Air Refueling Wing
Video by Staff Sgt. Ryan Gomez
May 15, 2024 | 6:06
Airmen assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing load cargo onto a KC-135 Stratotanker during exercise Royal Flush at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, April 29, 2024. 92nd LRS Airmen were responsible for securing and loading cargo essential to sustaining operations off-station. Royal Flush was an Air Mobility Command readiness exercise that evaluated the ability to rapidly respond and execute mobility fundamentals and non-standard techniques to provide global mobility at a moment's notice. Fairchild Air Force Base Airmen demonstrated the ability to rapidly deploy aircraft, cargo and personnel to an unfamiliar location and immediately resume and sustain air refueling operations, unsupported for a significant period. This exercise demonstrated how AMC forces prepare, posture and present ready air mobility forces to support national security objectives. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Ryan Gomez) More
