Pass Gas
Nobody kicks ass without tanker gas.
One aircraft, three callings
If you touched a KC-10, you belong here.
Pilots and navigators, flight engineers, boom operators, crew chiefs, fuelers, support crews, and everyone who kept the Extender flying. Sixty were built; thousands of us made them work.
