305th Air Mobility Wing retires KC10 (Broll)
JOINT BASE MCGUIREDIXLAKEHURST, NJ, UNITED STATES

The retirement of the final KC10 Extender represents a transition toward a more modern and advanced Total Force tanker enterprise within the United States Air Force. Select portions of the legacy tanker fleet were gradually divested, which allowed for the recapitalization of the aging tanker fleet, while also maintaining its aerial refueling capability and capacity for the warfighter.
