U.S. Air Force Col. Elizabeth Hanson, 305th Air Mobility Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. David Kolcun, 305th AMW command chief, salute the last KC-10 Extender set for retirement at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., June 22, 2023. The retirement of the final KC-10 Extender represents a transition toward a more modern and advanced Total Force tanker enterprise within the United States Air Force. Select portions of the legacy tanker fleet were gradually divested, which allowed for the recapitalization of the aging tanker fleet, while also maintaining its aerial refueling capability and capacity for the warfighter.
