This U.S. Air Force Pilot's Individual Flight Record documents the flying career of Captain Terry F. Bolstad in early 1971, logging sorties in a KC-135A Stratotanker while assigned to Strategic Air Command. Tanker crews like this one flew unheralded but essential missions during the Vietnam War, refueling fighters and bombers over Southeast Asia to extend their range and time on target. The cumulative totals recorded here — over 1,600 flight hours and nearly 500 combat hours — reflect the sustained tempo of aerial refueling operations that kept American airpower in the fight.
