KC-135 60th Anniversary

Post by AeroResource » Wed Aug 31, 2016 6:32 pm

KC-135 60th Anniversary

On August 31, 1956 at just after 1pm local time, a new Boeing jet took to the skies for its first flight. That jet, Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker 55-3118 named ‘City of Renton’, started a story that is now 60 years old – and continuing! In 2016, the KC-135 is still the backbone of the United States Air Forces aerial refuelling capability and one of the longest serving military aircraft in the world.
