The KC-135 Stratotanker, an essential force multiplier, has been the backbone of aerial refueling since it first entered service in 1957. Known for its role in extending the operational range of U.S. and allied aircraft, this aircraft has supported countless missions across the globe. Equipped with the ability to refuel a variety of aircraft mid-flight, the KC-135 has played a pivotal role in strategic operations and rapid response scenarios. Its reliable design and adaptability have earned it the nickname “Indispensable” among the crews and pilots who rely on its steady performance. Even after decades of service, the Stratotanker remains a critical component of air mobility and global military operations.

The Boeing KC-135 “Stratotanker” is an American military aerial refueling tanker aircraft that was developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype, alongside the Boeing 707 airliner. It has a narrower fuselage and is shorter than the 707. Boeing gave the aircraft the internal designation of Model 717 (number later assigned to a different Boeing aircraft). The KC-135 was the United States Air Force’s first jet-powered refueling tanker and replaced the KC-97 Stratofreighter. The KC-135 was initially tasked with refueling strategic bombers, but it 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.
The KC-135 entered service with the USAF in 1957; it’s one of nine military fixed-wing aircraft (six American, three Russian) with over 60 years of continuous service[note with its original operator. The KC-135 was supplemented by the larger McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender. Studies have concluded that many of the aircraft could be flown until 2030, although maintenance costs have greatly increased. The KC-135 is to be partially replaced by the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus.
