McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender

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.

Rockwell B-1B Lancer

Designed as a replacement for the B-52 Stratofortress, the B-1 Lancer was first flown on December 23, 1974 but did not enter service until 1986. First envisioned in the 1960s, this aircraft took two decades to begin its career. Its development was halted and restarted numerous times, and it was alternately praised for its potential and decried as gross misuse of taxpayer money. Today, the B-1 operates as a long-range, supersonic low-level penetrator. Its speed and survivability are superior to the B-52, and its high-speed strike and large payload capabilities give it a unique role in modern strategic bombing operations.
