The deployed environment admittedly is a mostly male world. For a day though, a deployed KC-10 Extender crew made it an all-female day, as all four crew positions were held by females, truly making their mission unmanned. Staff Sgt. Lindy Campbell, a boom operator and flight air refueler, with the 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, who is deployed from the 79 ARS, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. A boom operator controls refueling operations through a digital, fly-by wire system. Sitting in the rear of the aircraft, the operator can see the receiver aircraft through a wide window.
