A KC-135 Stratotanker with the 459th Air Refueling Wing sits in a hanger getting worked on at Joint Base Andrews, Md. The KC-135 is supplemented by the larger KC-10 Extender. Despite increased maintenance costs, studies conclude many of the aircraft could be flown until 2040. The aircraft will be replaced by the Boeing KC-46. ( Air Force photo/Master Sgt.
