Historical Information

The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an American aerial refueling tanker and strategic transport aircraft used by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the early 1980s. It was developed based on the wide-body DC-10 passenger jet. Its main roles are refueling fighter aircraft and transporting supplies over long distances. The Royal Netherlands Air Force (Koninklijke Luchtmacht, KLu) operates the KDC-10 version, being the sole operator of this variant in Europe. KC-10 Extender and KDC-10 aircraft have taken part in military operations, including the Gulf War (1991), operations in Afghanistan, as well as numerous humanitarian missions worldwide. Their service spans from the 1980s to the present day, making them an indispensable component of modern NATO air forces.
