North Pole Mayor Larry Terch poses for a photo with Chief Master Sgt. George Bender in front of an Alaska Air National Guard KC-135 nose art panel displayed in the halls at the 168th Maintenance Group, March 5, 2025. Terch and Bender grew up together and went to North Pole High School. Mayor Terch toured the 168th Wing to gain firsthand insight into the wing's vital operations that support national security and Alaska's defense. This includes air refueling, missile warning, and space surveillance. Throughout the visit, he engaged with personnel and explored various facilities to better understand the air refueling mission the Alaska Air National Guard is responsible for at Eielson AFB.
