Beautiful alignment, dead nuts straight!
Interesting that there appears to be a small gap in the two nose gear doors that are 'closed'.

I have not been able to get out shooting much lately, so I've spent some time recently going through old image files. Here is a KC-10 Extender playing chicken with a few shooters at Willie - circa 2012.

Although technically this is a KDC-10 (coverted DC-10 into tanker aircraft) I thought it would fit here. One of 2 arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol and the other later in the evening. they were to support the 2 dutch F-35A for their crosatlantic flight back to Edwards AFB
