    Take a look inside an Air Force aerial tanker that kept fighter jets and bombers in the air

    The KC-10A Extender, a US Air Force aerial refueling tanker in service from 1981 to 2024, refueled fighter jets, bombers, and cargo planes during conflicts like the Gulf War and Iraq War. The first KC-10A is displayed at the Air Mobility Command Museum in Delaware, offering public access to its refueling operator station. The Air Force now uses KC-135 Stratotankers and newer KC-46A Pegasus aircraft to replace the retired KC-10 fleet.
