Morning KC-135R Stratotanker maintenance operations

description

Summary

Maintenance crews from the 507th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron prepare aircraft 63-8039, a KC-135R Stratotanker (right) for a morning launch here October 16, 2018 while an E-3 Sentry from the 552nd Air Control Wing taxis on to the runway. The gray tail KC-135 was a spare jet for a refueling mission today. Often, maintenance and operations crews will flex to a spare aircraft if the primary aircraft has a maintenance issue. That flexibility is key to operations when dealing with older model aircraft like the KC-135, according to maintenance leadership. (Air Force Photo/Maj. Jon Quinlan)
