Description
KC-10A-DL, 84-0187 assigned to the 9th ARS, 22 ARW, based at March AFB and seen at Luke AFB in March of 1986.
This was a pretty boring looking jet in the new "Shamu" Scheme!

I like it in fact. More interesting than today's Air Superiority Grey.
This seems as it could be a very bad guy on Bay's Transformers

To us photographers, we really hated the dark schemes unless you could photograph the jets in bright sun either early in the morning or late afternoon. The aircraft looked pretty bad in overcast light.

I am glad you enjoy the look back! Did you see my series on the Euro-1 F-4s?

I remember seeing this livery on KC-10s in the past!

Yeah, it was a pretty boring era for aircraft photography though! Glad you liked the shot!

Saw a pic today of a KC-135 fueling up one of these 'Shamu' KC-10s. Can't find it for the life of me though.
Good upload, thanks!
