A KC-135 Stratotanker, assigned to Fairchild AFB, Wash., taxis back in from a refueling mission down range Wednesday. Fuel capacity for a Stratotanker is 31,275 gallons -- enough for a car to drive 938,250 miles. The average car can operate for more than a year on the amount of fuel transferred through the boom in a single minute. The total fuel carried on a KC-135 would last the average driver 48 years. The electrical power generated by one aircraft would power 35 homes. To lubricate its four engines, the aircraft carries 64 gallons of oil, enough for 50 cars. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
