A McGuire Air Force Base, KC-10 Extender from the 2nd Air Refueling Squadron is refueled by a KC-10 Extender aircraft on June 29, 2000. Although the primary mission of the KC-10 is aerial refueling, it can combine the tasks of tanker and cargo aircraft by refueling fighters while carryling the fighters' support people and equipment during overseas deployments. The KC-10A can transport up to 75 people and about 170,000 pounds of cargo a distance of about 4,400 miles. Without cargo, the KC-10A's unrefueled range is more than 11,500 miles.
