Senior Air Craftsman Martin Atkinson, propulsion technician assigned to the 101 Squadron, attaches a fueling hose to a VC-10 while Airman 1st Class Ron Turner, assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron, stands by to begin fueling, Sept. 26, 2008, at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. The VC-10 is a dual-role air transport and air-to-air refueling aircraft capable of dispensing to two receiver aircraft simultaneously from two under wing probe-and-drogue pods. VC-10s assigned here refuel British and other coalition aircraft supporting Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Atkinson, a native of Dorset, England, is deployed from Royal Air Force Brize Norton, England, and Airman Turner, a native of Manteca, Calif., is deployed from Langley Air Force Base, Va.
