Description: The first Chilean Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker arrives in Santiago de Chile in February 2010. U.S. Air Force crews from Sheppard Air Force Base and the Utah Air National Guard helped deliver the first of three U.S. KC-135E aircraft acquired by the Chilean Air Force. Members of the 151st Air Refueling Wing deployed to Chile to help provide operations and maintenance training to the Chilean AF on the aircraft, but the training quickly transformed into a real-world humanitarian operation after the 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit the country. Aircrews have been transporting critical medical equipment and supplies throughout the country.
