72-Hour KC-135 Stratotanker Mission
92nd Air Refueling Wing
Video by Staff Sgt. Lawrence Sena
Oct. 11, 2022 | 3:27
Two KC-135 Stratotankers simultaneously conducted 72-hour single-aircraft endurance missions, demonstrating multi-day tanker mission generation capabilities, October 4-7, 2022. For over 72-hours the aircrafts only landed to refuel, change crews, and service engine oil while keeping at least one engine running. This mission was accomplished with crews from the 92nd Air Refueling Wing, 141st ARW, 452nd Air Mobility Wing, and 134th ARW, continuously operating two participating KC-135s to demonstrate the ability to project unrivaled global reach.
