KC-135’s back at PSAB
United States Air Forces Central

A U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker with the 28th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron refuels an F-22 Raptor on its way to Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 28, 2019. The tanker flew from Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, to Prince Sultan AB for the first time since 1998. As the backbone of the U.S. Air Force tanker fleet, the KC-135 has enabled Air Force global reach for more than 60 years. The ability of U.S. Air Forces Central Command to operate at bases like PSAB deters adversaries and demonstrates U.S. commitment to regional security. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Bethany E.
