摘要

McGuire AFB, N.J., has become a key waypoint in the ceaseless flow of people, machines, and materiel headed to combat operations in the Mideast. Mc-Guire's 305th Air Mobility Wing is instrumental in sustainment of the war effort, as well as in the day-to-day support of US military activities worldwide. ∣1∣ The boom operator on a KC-10 has a commanding view of the receiving aircraft and vicinity, as in this "10 on 10" operation in which a KC-10 refuels another KC-10.∣2∣ The 305th tailflash features a small white P-38 Lightning, a tribute to base namesake Maj. Thomas McGuire Jr., who grew up in New Jersey and flew the P-38. McGuire was the second highest-scoring US ace in World War II, awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously after he was killed during a 1945 combat mission. ∣3∣ Capt. Pete Braxton of the 305th positions his KC-10 beneath another KC-10 for refueling. Such transfers can be used to share fuel and tank up more aircraft at once.
