Staff Sergeant Michael A. Steck, crewchief for the KC-135E Stratotanker, moves a fire extinguisher so the aircraft can taxi at Forward Operating Location Manta, Ecuador.
KC-135E: Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve KC-135As re-engined with Pratt & Whitney TF-33-PW-102 engines from retired 707 airliners (161 modified). These aircraft are being retired to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and replaced with R models. Maximum Fuel Load: 200,000 lb (90,719 kg) or 31,275 US gal (118 kL) of aviation fuel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KC-135_Stratotanker
Could you IMAGINE the fire if a fully laden Stratotanker exploded? I don't think that portable fire extinguisher would be equal to such a job.
