Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker, 60-0318, of the 940th Air Refueling Wing during its take-off
run at RAF Mildenhall on January 30. The unit had previously operated the KC-135, but in
2009 became the 940th Wing operating the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk and also
performed other command and control and intelligence missions. It reverted to its current title
in April 2016 and resumed ying the Stratotanker. Matt Varley
