Stratotanker returns to sun-split clouds after engine swap

Airman 1st Class Colton Williams, 100th Maintenance Squadron, ratchets a cradle for transporting a damaged KC-135R Stratotanker engine up to the engine April 21, 2013, in Southwest Europe, to allow the No. 4 engine to be easily wheeled around once it is detached from the wing of the aircraft. The engine was replaced over a four-day period by the 351st Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron’s deployed maintainers. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Christopher Mesnard/Released)
