Ancient Tanker Delivered To the Boneyard


It boggles the mind that we have tankers almost this old still serving, another great job by the Air Staff taking care of replacing true global reach assets but instead buying gold plated fighters that will cost hundreds of millions more until they are at final configuration.
The 48-year-old aircraft was delivered for long term storage at the 2,600 acre facility after serving with the 151st Air Refueling Wing of the Utah Air National Guard for more than 20 years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Burke Baker)
