Members of the 171st Air Refueling Wing return from overseas, June 18, and are greeted by family and friends at the 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pittsburgh International Airport. Responding in less than 24 hours, the returning Airmen deployed in late March, and integrated into the 313th Air Expeditionary Wing to support the mission of refueling U.S. and coalition planes to enable the enforcement of the no-fly zone over the African nation of Libya. The 171st served as the lead tanker unit for the 313th Air Expeditionary Wing commanded by Brig. Gen. Roy Uptegraff, commander of the 171st, and comprised of numerous units from Guard, Reserve and Active Duty components. Produced by Tech. Sgt. Shawn Monk. Available in high definition.
