A U.S. Air Force Boeing KC-135A <i>Stratotanker</i> aircraft taking off.<br> Original caption: "A U.S. Air Force KC-135E Stratotanker aircraft takes off on a mission in support of Operation Desert Storm." Which is obviously wrong. It´s a KC-135 <i>steam jet</i> with J57-engines and water injection, therefore it could be a KC-135A or -Q.
