The KC-135 provides the core aerial refueling capability for the Air Force, allowing aircraft to linger in airspace during exercises and contingency and humanitarian operations.

Privatni F-16
Supersonic aggressors for hire Citat:This week, Discovery Air Defence is marking 50,000 accident-free flying hours with its fleet of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet adversary aircraft, which are operated under contracts to the military. Serviceability rates are in the region of 98 per cent – much higher than most military operations.
The requirement for this kind of contract work is growing, and later this year Discovery Air (Booth 408) expects to announce the addition of the Lockheed Martin F-16 supersonic fourth-generation fighter to its roster.
Lokid je ispunio i poslednji ugovor vezan za offsete Poljskoj a Poljaci su zavrsili sa otplatom F-16.
Citat:
One of the last programmes undertaken by Lockheed Martin as part of the agreement involved creating a national service centre for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of the aircraft, in association with UTC Aerospace Systems.
The announcement that Lockheed Martin has discharged its offset liability comes as the Polish government completed payment for the aircraft, with the final instalment of PLN5.363 billion (USD1.433 billion) being included in the country's 2015 defence budget.
