Must have been transient aircraft. KC-10s have never been assigned to the
Air Guard; the tanker unit at Forbes -- 190th ARW -- is a Kansas ANG unit.
For the last few years, all KC-10s have been split between Travis AFB in
California and McGuire AFB in New Jersey. Like most airlifters -- and they
do nearly as much trash-hauling as refueling -- they get around.
