The 168th Wing of the Alaska Air National Guard recently held a tail naming ceremony at Eielson Air Force Base to honor Interior Alaska communities by naming KC-135 aircraft after seven villages within the Doyon Region.
The honored villages include Gwichyaa Zhee (Fort Yukon), Grayling, Huslia, Minto, Tanana, Telida, and Tetlin. Each village name will be displayed on the tail of a KC-135 aircraft, serving as a visible tribute to the history, resilience, and significance of these Interior communities. Doyon is proud to see these communities honored in such a lasting and visible way.
