Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That’s the message implied from an announcement that the Base will soon be adding eight Stratotankers to its fleet. Sounds impressive, right? But what’s a Stratotanker? Its full name is a KC-135 Stratotanker, and it’s an aircraft designed to refuel other planes, mid-air. It lies […]
