The one-day U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command event involved over 150 aircraft around the nation as they commemorated 100 years of air refueling.

Air Refueling aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard commemorated the event by performing flyovers at major landmarks, population centers and state capitols in all 50 states.

The Iowa Air National Guard’s 185th Air Refueling Wing along with South Dakota’s 114th Fighter Wing flew over Sioux City, Okoboji and Ames in Iowa. The video shows several flyovers in South Dakota including Pierre, the South Dakota Badlands, the Black Hills and Sioux Falls. In North Dakota the Air National Guard aircraft flew over Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and Bismarck.
