A Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II assigned to Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan prepares to receive fuel over Afghanistan from a KC-10 Extender, March 9, 2018. The Thunderbolt can loiter near battle areas for extended periods of time and operate in low ceiling and visibility conditions. The wide combat radius and short takeoff and landing capability permit operations in and out of locations near front lines. ( Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Anthony Nelson Jr.)
