The KC-10s have done very well and until more of the C-17s came online were
the air mobility aircraft of choice for many strategic airlift/refueling
missions.

Not as easy as it sounds, Gerry.  Much work would have to be done to convert
a DC-10-30 to a KC-10 aircraft meeting Air Mobility Command standards.

If the B-767 isn't purchased as a KC-135 replacement, then a converted C-17
(KC-17) is the next best choice.  But it is more expensive to procure than
the KC-767.
