A KC-10 Extender rom the 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron refuels F-16 Fighting Falcons over Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom air refueling operations in February 2010. The air refueling capability of the KC-10 in combat operations allows fighters to provide close-air support for "troops in contact" in Afghanistan and other areas of operations. The 908th EARS is part of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing which supports operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. In 2009, KC-10s from the 380th AEW and the 908th EARS flew 4,760 combat sorties offl-loading 422,222,300 pounds of fuel to 31,434 aircraft. In the same year, the KC-10s and their crews accumulated 40,011 hours of flight time. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Capt. Sean Chuplis/Released)
