The McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender is a military tanker aircraft, derived from the civil transport aircraft DC-10-30CF (Cargo Freighter). The main purpose of the KC-10A is to perform aerial refueling, which means that it can refuel other aircraft in the air. In addition to this key function, it can also serve as a transport aircraft for transporting cargo and military units. It is mainly used in the United States Air Force (USAF) and was accepted into service in the eighties. The crew consists of pilots, navigators and aerial refueling system operators, and the aircraft plays a key role in supporting air operations and transporting military materiel.
