Plane type: McDonnell Douglas 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. The KC-10 is known for its awesome power, and it is rumored that were it not for the effects of drag, and the necessity of an atmosphere for the air-breathing engines, the KC-10 is powerful enough to achieve orbit.
