Kedar Karmarkar (kedar) > KC-97 Tanker aircraft. Initial Tanker aircraft for the USAF. The turbojet engines were added to make the KC-97 more faster, since the fighters which used to receive fuel would be at stalling speed.
Kedar Karmarkar (kedar) > This is the Royal Air Force Avro Vulcan bomber. Vulcans took advantage of mid-air refueling and bombed the Falkland Islands during the conflict. Several Vulcan bombers were converted back to bomber status and flew several bombing raids against the Port Stanley Airport and several radar sites. These missions, code named "Operation Black Buck", held the record for the longest (distance) bombing raid in history. This record has since been broken by the Strategic Air Command during Desert Storm in 1991. The Black Buck missions were flown from the Ascension Islands to the Falklands and back, a distance of over 7,700 miles.
