A KC-135 Stratotanker with the 459th Air Refueling Wing, Joint Base Andrews, Md., flies through some storm clouds on their way to meet up with and refuel a C-17 Globemaster with the 15th Airlift Squadron, "Global Eagles" off the east coast of Florida, July 12, 2012. The KC-135 was the US Air Force's first jet-powered refueling tanker and replaced the KC-97 Stratotanker. The Stratotanker was initially tasked to refuel strategic bombers, but was used extensively in the Vietnam War and later conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm to extend the range and endurance of US tactical fighters and bombers.
