Big Fuel Tanker Jet

This is a big fuel tanker in the sky. It gives jet fuel to other airplanes when they are flying. It is very hard to do this. I do not want to try it. The picture was taken in the 1960s.

This tanker is like a Boeing 707 airplane, but this one is called the KC-135. Here is a website about it: http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=110
