U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Grady Phillips and Airman 1st Class Lily Beer, both 133rd Aerial Refueling Squadron aircrew flight equipment technicians, perform gas mask and helmet system communication and oxygen testing for U.S. Air Force Maj. Luke Huebener, a 133rd ARS KC-46A pilot, at Pease Air National Guard Base, New Hampshire, Feb. 6, 2026.
