Looks like an ex-McGuire KC-10 (86-0036) will hit the auction block next Tuesday (4/15) at Davis Monthan AFB. This one is being offloaded with 2/3 engines and without the boom. It was the first KC-10 to be sent to the Boneyard on 7/13/20.

Noticed a lot of C-17's from Elmendorf to Bangor to ETAR the last couple weeks...
Sure takes a lot of C-17's to move the Army

US military planes flew a Patriot air defense battalion out of the Pacific to the Middle East. It took over 70 flights, a commander says.

The head of US Indo-Pacific Command said it took 73 loads with C-17 cargo aircraft to move the air defenses.
