The first production Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker, USAF 55-3118 (c/n 17234), at (as the caption says) Hickam Air Force Base, Oahu, Hawaii. By the time this photo was taken, she has been converted into an EC-135K Airborne Command Post (Project Head Dancer). She is still extant, converted back into her KC-135A configuration, at McConnell AFB, Wichita, Kansas.
