Jacob St. George, 373rd Training Squadron Detachment 14 KC-10/KC-46 crew chief instructor, directs a KC-10 Extender on the flight line at Travis Air Force Base, California, Jan. 11, 2024. The 9th Air Refueling Squadron leaders designated this specific aircraft as the squadron flagship based off historical records and documentation. The term “flagship” traditionally referred to the ship that carried the commander of a naval fleet, deeming it most important. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kenneth Abbate)
