“Night ops” An F-15E Strike Eagle from the 4th Fighter Wing approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing during an air refueling mission over the Southeastern U.S., June 30, 2025. The KC-135 has provided core aerial refueling capability for the U.S. Air Force since 1957, extending the range and endurance of aircraft like the F-15E, which can carry up to 23,000 pounds of munitions.
