DC-10s as Water Bombers?

G.R.

My pardon. Talk was about the Mars and I just followed my nose and
missed the 'Y' in the road and conintued on the Mars thread.

USAF bought 60 'Extenders" but I've never seen one refueling as they
came into service after I retired.

Also don't have any feed back from the jocks who flew them.

They are not being mentioned in the cat and dog fight over the 767.
Only the old 135 (E's).

What kind of a Military tanker???

From the tone of your post, it seems you think I claimed the Mars was used as
a tanker. I was talking about the DC-10.

The DC-10 was and is used as a tanker. I do not remember the military
designation, but our flying club was granted a tour of one at McGuire AFB two
years ago. You can also see one in the Harrison Ford movie where the pres gets
hijacked ("Air Force One??).

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.
