The KC-10 Extender is an Air Mobility Command advanced tanker and cargo aircraft designed to provide increased global mobility for U.S. armed forces. Although the KC-l0's primary mission is aerial refueling, it can combine the tasks of a tanker and cargo aircraft by refueling fighters and simultaneously carry the fighter support personnel and equipment on overseas deployments. The KC-10 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations. (U.S. Air Force Photo Illustration/Master Sgt. Scott T.

A C-141B Starlifter, C-130E Hercules and C-124C Globemaster II, fly over Mount St. Helens in a 1986 McChord Air Force Base heritage flight. Heavy volcanic ash exposure can cause gas turbine engines to shut down during flight. Recent studies have determined that light exposure also causes damage that may not be discovered for months or years. (Courtesy photo/62 Airlift Wing Public Affairs)
