The tanker aircraft is primarily used to refuel aircraft in flight. Modified KC-135s also serve as flying command posts, pure transport, electronic reconnaissance and photo mapping craft.
The KC-135 features include a flying boom to provide fuel transfer, a drogue to refuel probe-equipped aircraft fitted to the boom and passenger and cargo deck located above the fuselage-mounted tanks.
The Tinker Air Force Base will manage the contracting activity.
