Good point.
Not sure if the KC-10's had the strengthened engine mounts.

Might be time to fast track Jet Zero with tanks
(yeah, I know, It'll never happen)

The Air Force threw a surprising amount of money at Jet Zero. The AF is pretty risk averse at this point. They thought the KC-46 was going to be a painless acquisition. It would have if they just put a guy in the back.

Why they don't donate a few KC10 CF6's (TF whatevers, I know) to jump start their prototype.

But there I go again, thinking logically.

Might as well, eight of the ten KC-10’s were missing a single engine.
