Imagine mixing “stratosphere” and “tanker” to create a plane that refuels other planes way up high. They call it the KC-135. It started its job during the Vietnam War and later helped out in Operation Desert Storm. This plane can go super fast, reaching speeds of up to 580 miles per hour.

So, it can fly a long way and quickly help out other planes that are running low on fuel. It’s like a flying gas station in the sky, making sure the other planes can keep going even when they’re almost out of fuel. The KC-135 is a real hero for keeping the skies safe and the missions going.
