Dr. Ted Hine, a World War II Navy veteran and nephew of one of the original air refueling aircrew members who performed the first air refueling flights, represented family members of air refueling pioneers during a ceremony Sept. 23, 2010, at the “Walk of Fame” at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., as part of a presentation by the Airlift-Tanker Association Hall of Fame. Gen. Raymond E. Johns Jr., Air Mobility Command commander; retired Gen. Walter Kross, former AMC commander and A-TA chairman; and Dr. Hine were the main speakers for the event. They unveiled a two-sided bronze medallion highlighting “the pioneers of air refueling” who were the 2009 A-TA Hall of Fame inductees. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Staff Sgt. Ryan Crane)
