EDITORS COMMENTS
58-0118, a proud representative of the United States Air Force's (USAF) Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker fleet, is seen here at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas during the late 1990s. With its distinctive hump-shaped fuel bladder, this military aerial refueling tanker is a vital asset to the USAF's strategic airlift and combat support missions. Manufactured by Boeing, the KC-135R is an extended range variant of the original KC-135 Stratotanker, which first took to the skies in 1957. This particular aircraft, bearing the serial number 58-0118 and manufacturing serial number 17863, has served the USAF with distinction for over four decades. The KC-135R Stratotanker's primary role is to extend the range and endurance of military aircraft by providing them with aerial refueling. Its advanced boom system and hose and drogue refueling capabilities enable it to refuel various types of military aircraft, including fighters, bombers, and transport planes, mid-flight. In this image, 58-0118 is captured on the ground at McConnell Air Force Base, showcasing its iconic livery and the intricate details of its design. The aircraft's powerful engines and wings are visible, highlighting the engineering prowess that went into creating this aeronautical marvel. The Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker continues to play a crucial role in the USAF's inventory, ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of its fleet. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable aircraft and the essential role it plays in the world of military aviation.
