This Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker (serial 63-7991) of the 173rd Air Refuelling Squadron, 155th Air Refuelling Wing, Nebraska Air National Guard, is shown as representative of the large fleet of US, British, and French tanker aircraft without which the entire Operation Allied Force would have been entirely impossible to run. Deploying two aircraft and more than 80 personnel to Rhein-Main AFB, outside Frankfurt, the squadron was the first unit of the Air National Guard to become involved and flew its first mission in April 1999. Over the following weeks, no fewer than 36 KC-135E/Rs and crews from 22nd ARW, and 72nd, 74, 91st, 153rd 171st, 196, and 197th ARS were rotated in and out of Rhein-Main AFB. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
