EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force's (USAF) Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker, specifically aircraft number 56-3593 (MSN 17342), circa 2000. The KC-135E is a versatile military aerial refueling tanker and transport aircraft, manufactured by Boeing. This particular aircraft is adorned with the classic USAF livery, displaying its distinct red, white, and blue colors. The KC-135E Stratotanker was first introduced in the late 1950s and has since become an essential component of the USAF's aerial refueling fleet. Its primary role is to extend the operational range and endurance of military aircraft by providing them with in-flight refueling. This capability is crucial for long-range missions, such as those involving strategic bombers or transoceanic transport aircraft. The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker 56-3593, with its powerful four-engine configuration, is capable of carrying over 100,000 pounds of fuel, making it an indispensable asset for the USAF. This photograph captures the aircraft in flight, showcasing its impressive size and the intricate details of its design. The wings, which span over 100 feet, are angled at a slight upward sweep, giving the KC-135E its distinctive shape. The KC-135E Stratotanker's versatility extends beyond its refueling capabilities, as it can also transport troops, cargo, and patients. Its spacious interior can accommodate up to 82 passengers or 64 stretchers for medical evacuation missions. This multirole capability makes the KC-135E an essential component of the USAF's airlift fleet. This photograph, from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the history and capabilities of the United States Air Force's Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker. It not only showcases the aircraft's impressive design but also highlights its critical role in military aviation.
