The South Carolina Air National Guard at McEntire Joint National Guard Base is hosting a North American Aerospace Defense Command-sponsored air defense media day, Jan. 29, 2019, to showcase how NORAD coordinates with federal, state and local agencies to support various special security events such as this year’s Super Bowl in its ongoing commitment to safeguard North America’s skies. During this all-day event, various national and local news personalities will experience an inflight simulation of a NORAD-coordinated exercise with the Federal Aviation Administration and S.C. Wing – Civil Air Patrol over military training airspaces in South Carolina and Georgia. The flight will also include an air-to-air refueling mission with a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 134th Air Refueling Wing, Tennessee Air National Guard. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt.
