Back to Gallery

The New York Air National Guard’s 107th Air Refueling Wing operated Boeing KC 135R air refueler aircraft at Niagara Falls International Airport, N.Y. The 9,130 foot long primary runway was inadequate for takeoffs of aircraft carrying fuel loads mandated by the unit’s mission. Thornton Engineering was retained to design a 1,000 foot long runway extension.
