Just saw something very similar to KC-10 (three engines, refueling bom below tail), going from Warsaw EPWA to the West.
Any ideas what's that?
Tanker comin' back "somwhere" from Middle East?

Could be mate. What colours was it. There are KC-10s of USA which are mostly dark grey, KDC-10s of Netherlands which are two tone grey and white, I believe. And Global Airtanker have a white one for trials, but not sure if they have the boom attached all the time for flight yet.
