	McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender
		The McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender is an advanced aerial tanker and cargo aircraft designed to provide increased global mobility for U.S. armed forces.
		Although the KC-l0's primary mission is aerial refueling, it can combine the tasks of a tanker and transport aircraft by refueling fighters and simultaneously carrying the fighter support personnel and equipment on overseas deployments.
		In the mid-1990s, the major USAF reorganization that witnessed the elimination of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) resulted in the KC-10 Extender fleet being reassigned among units of the Air Mobility Command (AMC) and Air Combat Command (ACC), before all being controlled by AMC.

		The KC-10 Extender is a tanker aircraft in service with the US Air Force.
		Though the 59 Extenders currently in service are greatly outnumbered by the venerable KC-135 Stratotanker, the KC-10 has a significantly larger fuel capacity.
		Beginning with the Vietnam War doubts began to be raised about the ability of the 700+ strong KC-135 fleet to meet the needs of the United States’ global commitments.

		Developed from the DC-10-30CF convertible passenger/cargo model, the KC-10 was modified with three large fuel cells beneath the cabin floor and a retractable fuel boom in the aft fuselage.
		These additional tanks give the KC-10 Extender a total fuel capacity of 365,065 lb (161,510 kg), all of which is available for transfer to other aircraft.
		In addition, the KC-10 is fitted with an in-flight refueling receptacle of its own allowing the aircraft to remain aloft indefinitely.

	The KC-10 Extender
		The KC-10 has proven to be an indispensable tool for the US Air Force, sustaining and increasing the endurance of both pilot and plane, allowing global reach and force multiplication to any mission.
		In "The Extenders," by artist Dru Blair, several KC-10's are depicted lining up for take off as the crews prepare to launch yet another vital support mission.
		The fog shrouded runway creates an aura of intrigue and mystique, and is consistent with the quiet reputation of this essential, but often overlooked aircraft as it carries out its critical task.

	KC-10 Extender
		In addition to refueling aircraft in flight, the KC-10 Extender can also haul 75 passengers and up to 170,000 pounds of cargo about 4,500 miles.
		In addition, its cargo capability enables the U.S. to deploy some fighter squadrons and their unit support people and equipment with a single airplane type, instead of requiring both tanker and cargo aircraft.
		The Air Force is calling the KC-10A the "Extender" because of its ability to carry out aerial refueling and cargo mission without forward basing, thus extending the mobility of U.S. forces.
