Global mobility aircraft saving lives in Iraq
A KC-135 Stratotanker taxis toward the runway as a U-2 "Dragonlady" lifts off from a forward-operating base in Southwest Asia Sept. 20. During the Air Force Association's 2006 Air and Space Conference and Technology Exposition in Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, Air Mobility Command commander, said the refueling mission is important to the joint fight, so it is critical the Air Force move to recapitalize the tanker fleet.
