While taxiing back to parking after unloading the freight this evening, I saw a plane on approach ripping it in, and I thought, “man, I bet there’s no PAX on there.” I assumed it to be military. But once I parked and chocked my plane… I saw it was... show more

Also sorry for the music again lol, I often have music on when I’m doing walk arounds and I’m never thinking “let me turn this off” I’m always thinking, “dang that looks cool lemme take a pic”

That’s pretty awesome. Here’s a pic I took recently at my local USAF air base here in the UK showing the KC-10 refueling tanker.

That’s awesome!!! Great pics.

Yes it’s a beautiful thing to see those that fly their machine to its full capabilities. I caught this 10 earlier this summer dropping retardant to create a fire stop. Nothing ho-hum here. Not a good video but the best I could do at a moments notice.

That’s a great video. I love seeing them doing their work!

That captain has more experience than most will ever have the opportunity to acquire. That is not a roughnecked crew.

Correct, their experience is amazing.

Ironically the very last KC-10 tanker is retiring today. Taking off in an hr from CA headed to AZ.

I saw that. Rip to a real one. :(

If you see any big tri-jet now (OK, there’s one KC-10 still flying, but it retires this week) it’s gonna be cargo (FedEx, WGA or UPS MD11), and a handful of 10 tankers around. The Orbis MD10 is who knows where on earth, and a few MD10s are flying south of the border.

Yeah, they are a dying breed. Kind of a sad end of era when all of them get retired.
