ace-10  cool  kings

Squadron legend has it that as this unit was being activated, a newly-graduated and obviously disappointed Lieutenant complained aloud that "flying tankers is not very cool." The reply from one of the experienced tanker pilots was said to be "First, tanker pilots are the kings of cool, and second, proceed to the southwest corner of the hanger, face the wall, and go [redacted] yourself, you [redacted]-kicking [redacted]."

From flying massive squadrons of refuelers to support fleet actions all the way down to freighters dropping fuel at remote outposts, "the Kings" have maintained and indeed cultivated that irreverent, laid back attitude. Their squadron motto, the origin of which is lost to the sands of time, is simply "Abide."
