Dc-10 Tankers

Re The Idea Of Buying Used Dc-10-30s With Less Than 50,000 Hrs, I Doubt If There Are Any That Would Meet That Requirement. Most Are Much Closer To Or Beyond 100,000 Hrs.

With The Higher Labor Rates In Europe Vs The Usa In Dollar Terms, I'm Curious To Know How Eads Could Match Boeing's Price Especially Since The Kc-43 Is A Bigger Aircraft.
