The '''Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker''' is a United States aerial refueling tanker [[aircraft]]. It has been in service with the United States Air Force since 1957; it is one of six military fixed-wing aircraft with over 50 years of continuous service with its original operator. It and the [[Boeing 707]] airliner were developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype. The KC-135 was the US Air Force's first jet-powered refueling tanker and replaced the Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter. It was initially tasked to refuel strategic bombers, but was used to extend the range and endurance of US tactical fighters and bombers. and it is supplemented by the larger [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30|KC-10]]. The KC-135E is the only user-controlled tanker aircraft available in [[FlightGear]] at the moment. | The '''Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker''' is a United States aerial refueling tanker [[aircraft]].
