KC 135E.


KC 135E.

This story, as well as the names of squadrons and air bases are completely fictive.

Boeing KC-135E of the 75th ARS of the 272nd Air Refueling and Support Squadron based in Forth Worth, Texas.

The aircraft entered service in 1983 and was upgraded to a KC-135E in November 1987.

During its career it participated in numerous missions such as the iconic Desert Storm in 1991.

In the fall of 1993, it was re-engined by the French-American engine manufacturer CFM International with CFM56-2A engines.
It continued to play a major role in the USAF, in 1998 the aircraft was sent to Austin Air Force Base where the Air Training Center is located, which is responsible for training USAF crews on Stratotankers. It flew there for 6 years, until 2004 before crashing during a training flight over the Arizona desert on May 28th 2004.
On board 7 students and 3 instructors lost their lives.

    Gotta say, nice job on the modifications here!

     

    Would be kinda cool to see a scenario of this refueling a C-17 or F/A-18 using the templates we have for those
