KenV You underestimate the folks in this forum. The A330MRTT/Voyager is (allegedly) a much better tanker than those Dutch KDC-10s can ever hope to be. And don't even think about the KC-46. There's plenty of controversy to go around.
Please Ken, I don't think that anyone is going to argue that the KDC-10's that were bought over 24 years ago second hand from an airline are "better" than the MRTT or KC-46 that are still fresh from the factory. The KDC-10's seem to have been quite useful over the years, and the KC-10/KDC-10 were doing boom equipped multi role tanker/transport operations long before it was cool to do so. Not bad for an airframe that was first designed in the late 1960's and later developed into a tanker/transport with the KC-10 some 40 years ago. Lynham lad posted a nice link relevant to the F-35 story- no need to bash the KDC-10 by assuming that others would have some controversy over it...
