  I flew aboard a civilian DC10 at least once in the 1970's. big and spacious and loud! and still alive to post about it. the DC10 chicago-Ohara crash in May 1979 was the worst civilian crash in the US of all time. I recall a story that Lindsey Wagner - The Bionic Woman -was aboard it with her mother. Wagner had a very bad feeling about the flight and got off with her mother just before they shut the doors!!

  The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an American aerial refueling tanker aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). A military version of the three-engine DC-10 airliner, the KC-10 was developed from the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program. It incorporates military-specific equipment for its primary roles of transport and aerial refueling. It was developed to supplement the KC-135 Stratotanker following experiences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The KC-10 was the second McDonnell Douglas transport aircraft to be selected by the Air Force following the C-9. A total of 60 KC-10s were produced for the USAF. The Royal Netherlands Air Force operated two similar tankers designated KDC-10 that were converted from DC-10s. The KC-10 plays a key role in the mobilization of US military assets, taking part in overseas operations far from home. These aircraft performed airlift and aerial refueling during the 1986 bombing of Libya (Operation Eldorado Canyon), the 1990-91 Gulf War with Iraq (Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm), the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), War in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom), and Iraq War (Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn). The U.S. Air Force has started retiring the KC-10, and it is expected that by September 2024 all operations of the "Big S3xy” will cease.

  I always remember my years in Iceland on alert (F-15C/D's). They rotated KC-135's out of Mildenhall and the AWACS rotated out of Tinker in Oklahoma. Three things would happen. You would heard the phone ring, the KC-135 cranking, the AWACS cranking and then the Klaxon would go off and four F-15's would launch. A lot happened in less than 5 minutes. The wind blows like crazy in Iceland, especially in the winter. Saw some pretty awesome cross wind landings there. Seeing a large aircraft "crab" sideways until just before touchdown was pretty common. Iceland was a great assignment.

  In the mid '80s we hauled F4s from the DC ANG unit who were on alert in Reykjavik. Fulll load of fuel, rotated on the last brick, hit a flock of birds, thankfully none went in an engine, but after we landed found a hole in a leading edge flap!

  In 1985, i was a KC-135 boom operator, and my crew was the first KC-135 crew mated with the 57th FIS F-15's at Keflavik. Shortly after that rotation, in 1986, i crossed-trained into the KC-10's. They were blue and white back then. To me, the KC-10's will always be known as "The Gucci Bird." California Freestyle - March AFB CA. "Boom Stowed, Leaving Position."

  @@blumac9801 If it had that system it would be covered in the Flight Manual, and I would have probably been aware of it seeing I flew them for 14 years. The CG "shift" was actually "controlled" by the FE insofar as he was the one with the fuel panel. With the 135 (which I also flew for 14 years) the fuel panel, which also was used to control the CG was operated by the pilots. The CG was controlled by "fuel sequence" in the 135. In the 135 and 10 fuel for offload could come from any of the tanks. In the 135 there were only two tanks that had A/R pumps, the KC10 also had A/R pumps, but could also offload using the transfer pumps. Also the KC10 being receiver capable had to deal with CG when fuel was being "onloaded". On both the 123 and 10 CG was also an issue when cargo was loaded, more so in the 10 because it could carry a lot more than the 135.
