Air refuellers deliver over 350 million pounds of fuel
In the first four months of 2011, air refuelling aircraft supporting the air mission on the US Central Command area of responsibility have offloaded more than 357 million pounds of fuel to more than 26,500 receiver aircraft.
The 357 million pounds of fuel figure, which is calculated and tracked by the US Air Forces Central’s Combined Air Operations Center in Southwest Asia, equates to approximately 52.58 million gallons—enough fuel to fill an F-16 Fighting Falcon to its capacity with two external tanks more than 29,750 times.
Meeting the demand for the air refuelling are the KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-10 Extender fleets. Both airframes operate in the US Central Command area of responsibility from non-disclosed bases in Southwest Asia as well as Kyrgyzstan.
