The elusive NKC-135R returns to Tinker AFB at the conclusion of a local testflight under the callsign "SABRE36." The aircraft was in Oklahoma receiving programmed depot maintenance where it was overhauled and repainted before returning to service. The NKC-135R is based at Edwards AFB in Southern California and possesses additional capabilities not seen on your standard KC-135. It plays an important role in the development of US military aircraft, both old and new, but has most notably been utilized in the testing and development of many top secret aircraft around the Nevada Test and Training Range, or NTTR, sometimes operating around Area 51 in the middle of the night. Oh the sights this airframe has seen!
