I read once that the DC-10-30 were powered my General Electrid CF-6 engines and the DC-10 series 40 aircraft were powered by Pratt and Whitney JT-9D series engines. Is there ant truth to that?
100% truth. NWA insisted that the engine for their tri-jet be compatible with their existing fleet of P&W JT9D-7 B 747s.
The changes to the airframe to accomplish this included slightly larger engine pylons, a larger diameter center inlet, a shift AFT of that engine 20 inches and adding a diffuser section.
I wrote my Master's Degree Project (just short of a Thesis) on the DC-10.

The Omega Tanker 707-320 was at Miramar and took off during the day....it must of been REALLY heavy as its take-off was long and its climb shallow. Great seeing a real 707 with the turbo-fans still in America. A bit of smoke and some noise.

By the row of windows make that KDC A former civilian passenger aircraft that was given a military makeover to a airboune refueling tanker.
DC-10-30 to be exact.
As of a year ago, the Dutch had 3 or 4 KDC-10s, but only two were converted to tankers with the RARO.

I personally like the L-1011 , the Convair 990 , Boeing 707-320 and the sweet 727. I never like seeing any plane go out of service.......or helicopters for that matter.
