Fairchild rocks the block 45 upgrade

A KC-135 Stratotanker taxis to its spot number after a refueling flight Oct. 23, 2015 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. This particular aircraft was the first of 22 projected Block- 45 aircraft scheduled to be part of Fairchild’s fleet by fiscal year 2022. The Block 45 upgrade addresses critical aircraft equipment and safety of flight issues including a new auto pilot, a new radio altimeter and an LCD screen that replaces analog gauges and makes other minor changes.
