Stratotanker returns to sun-split clouds after engine swap

Maintainers and a contractor use a crane to lift the engine ring cowl onto the No. 4 engine of a KC-135R Stratotanker, deployed from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, April 22, 2013, in Southwest Europe. The cowl was removed to allow maintainers deployed with the 351st Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron to swap a damaged engine out with a replacement. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt.
