Deployed crew performs ?unmanned? air refueling

Capt. Lindsey Bauer, aircraft commander, 1st Lt. Jen Carter, pilot, Staff Sgt. Lindy Campbell, boom operator and Staff Sgt. Sarah Lockley, flight engineer, from the 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron in Southwest Asia, participate in an ?unmanned? aerial refueling mission in the KC-10 Extender, Aug. 2, 2011.

This crew composition is rare because Lockley is the only female KC-10 flight engineer in the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Patrick Mitchell)
