A family of jet-propelled air refueling tankers, the KC-135 Stratotanker's are approaching the end of their service life. They are not filled with fuel, but carry both fuel and cargo. Of the series, only the KC-135R model can be refueled as well as refuel other planes, a valuable feature for extremely long missions.
