HISTORY ASPECTS:
The USAF KC-135, associated with the Kansas Air National Guard, has a distinguished history of service in numerous conflicts and critical missions. This versatile aerial refueling tanker has played an indispensable role in extending the reach and endurance of the United States Air Force’s aircraft.
Throughout the Cold War, the KC-135 fleet, including those from the Kansas Air National Guard, stood ready to support America’s strategic bomber forces and other aircraft during this period of geopolitical tension. Their rapid response capabilities were crucial for maintaining a credible deterrence against potential adversaries.
Additionally, these tankers have been actively involved in various conflicts and humanitarian missions, including Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s, where they provided vital in-flight refueling for coalition aircraft during the liberation of Kuwait. The KC-135s have also been instrumental in supporting relief efforts during natural disasters and crisis situations.
