KC-10A FTU Boom Operators Jet Black Lithograph

KC-10A FTU Boom Operators Jet Black Lithograph.

The McGuire KC-10A FTU (Formal Training unit) operates as a flight of the 305th Operations Support Squadron (OSS) as part of the 305th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. It is one of two KC-10A FTUs and is responsible for training KC-10 pilots, flight engineers, and boom operators.

The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an aerial refueling tanker aircraft– the military version of the three-engined DC-10 airliner operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The KC-10 was developed from the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program. It incorporates military-specific equipment for its primary roles of transport and aerial refueling. It was developed to supplement the KC-135 Stratotanker following experiences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The KC-10 was the second McDonnell Douglas transport aircraft to be selected by the Air Force following the C-9.
