As the light fades, it's an all-American affair on the far side of the ramp as the KC-135R of 909 ARS "Young Tigers" based at Kadena Air Base is pushed back after Aero India 2015 comes to an end on the last day. The 'R' designation started in the 1980s as existing KC-135 engines were replaced with CFM-56 turbofans. Other American built aircraft visible on the ramp are the nose of an F-15D of 44th FS, a P-8A of VP-45 "Pelicans" and C-17As of the USAF and IAF.
