I remember when DC-10's were all pulled from passenger service after the Chicago crash where an engine fell off kiling everyone on board. The military snapped them up as refueling tankers, and they are still in use as firefighting drop planes. Pretty sure all USAF KC-10s were new-build by McDD. The Royal Netherlands Air Force did convert two ex-airliners to KDC-10s.
