Designed as a military in-flight refueling tanker version of the DC-10, the KC-10 was first flown on July 12th, 1980. The tanker is based on the DC-10-30CF airframe with most passenger windows and cargo doors removed. Fuel storage tanks occupy the cargo area below the main deck and a flyable refuelling boom is controlled by a boom operator who is stationed at the rear of the plane with a clear view of the receiving aircraft. The long range and large fuel capacity of the KC-10 make it a key component of the US Air Force inventory, greatly extending the range of both combat and transport aircraft alike. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc. Designed and developed by Lockheed, the F-117 was the first operational aircraft conceived with stealth technology. It first flew on June 18, 1981, but was not officially acknowledged until 1988, when the Pentagon released a grainy, unrevealing photograph to the media (the aircraft itself was not seen by the public until 1990). With no afterburners and a shape designed to deflect radar signals, the F-117 is subsonic but effective. It has an automated planning system, sophisticated navigation and infrared target acquisition. It has been used several times in combat, most notably during the Persian Gulf War. It was retired in 2008, replaced by the more formidable F-22. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
