KC-135R engine washing results in fuel conservation

An ECO System engine washer from Pratt & Whitney, Dallas, Tex., is used to clean the inside of a CFM International CFM56 engine (F108 military designation) on a KC-135R Stratotanker at Scott AFB, Ill., on August 24, 2011. The 126th Air Refueling Wing, Illinois Air National Guard, is participating in the engine wash as a fuel conservation measure. Washing the engine is expected to reduce the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) margin by 5-6 degrees resulting in fuel savings and longer engine life. (U.S. AF photo by Master Sgt.

Look who got a makeover

Aircraft #59-1487 is currently scheduled to go on static display at the Illinois Air National Guard facilities within Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. This particular aircraft is one of the original 126th Air Refueling Wing KC-135’s. The paint scheme is the one that was worn by aircraft of the Strategic Air Command toward the latter part of SAC's existence at the end of the Cold War. The distinctive glossy gray carries a bold blue stripe with a "constellation" of stars. The blue stripe and stars is referred to as the Milky Way. This was a historic scheme that represented Strategic Air Command on the KC-135 and bombers and embodied the motto "Peace is Our Profession" at a time when peace was forged through superior fire power.
