EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force's Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker, specifically aircraft number 58-0053 (MSN 17798), in its prime during the mid-1980s. The KC-135E is a military variant of the legendary Boeing 707 airliner, modified to serve as an aerial refueling tanker. The image captures the sleek and powerful design of the Stratotanker, with its distinctive hose and drogue system extended from the rear of the aircraft, ready to transfer fuel to thirsty combat jets mid-flight. The KC-135E's iconic livery, featuring the bold United States Air Force roundel and serial number, adorns the fuselage with pride. The aircraft's engines, four Pratt & Whitney JT3C-J5 turbojet engines, can be seen at the wings, producing a combined thrust of over 22,000 pounds, enabling the KC-135E to reach cruising speeds of around 550 miles per hour. This remarkable aircraft played a pivotal role in the United States' aerial refueling capabilities, extending the operational reach of various military aircraft during missions. The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker 58-0053, with its impressive capabilities and timeless design, continues to serve as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation technology during the mid-20th century. This photograph, taken circa 1985, offers a glimpse into the rich history of military aviation and the United States Air Force's commitment to maintaining air superiority.
