Aircraft 60-0337 as it appeared in 1998 at Fairchild Air Force Base. "City of Spokane" was the first aircraft I painted nose art on, it was at the time, the base commander's jet and then transferred through different squadrons and bases since then. "City of Spokane" art lived further on other KC-135 aircraft, most notably on 58-0092 and then on 58-0094. I wanted my first KC-135 profile to be on 60-0337 the jet I first painted on.
The KC-135 Stratotanker provides the core aerial refueling capability for the United States Air Force and has excelled in this role for more than 60 years. This unique asset enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary mission of global reach. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied nation aircraft. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.
