McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender Aircraft

The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an aerial refuelling tanker based on the DC-10 airliner airframe. The KC-10 entered USAF service in March 1981, a total of sixty aircraft have been produced some of which are in use with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Most of the USAF's current aerial refuelling tankers are the older Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers but the KC-10 Extender caries nearly twice the fuel load and has both a boom and drogue refuelling systems giving far more operation capability.
