This painting depicts the mid-Atlantic refueling of the 432ns TRW "CASF Bravo" Voodoos by TAC Tanker KB-50's from the 429th AREFS. This mission took place on the night of 15-16 July 1958 amidst the raging tempest of a frontal line of thunderstorms.
The CASF Bravo deployment marked the dawn of the USAF Global Reach capability now realized in our current Expeditionary Air Forces.
