The Backbone of the Skies

A certified Pacific Airshow favorite, the USAF KC-135 Stratotanker Demo Team returns to Huntington Beach, because let’s be real, without them, the show doesn’t even get off the ground. These airborne refueling beasts are the reason many of our headlining performers can go the distance, and they do it all while showcasing the raw power and precision of America’s Super Tanker Wing.

The KC-135 team embodies the mission of delivering Global Reach, fueling the fight wherever, whenever. Their in air refueling capabilities are a seamless ballet at 30,000 feet that keeps the world’s most advanced aircraft in the skies and in the fight.

At Pacific Airshow, they’re not just support — they’re stars in their own right. Expect low passes and a whole lot of admiration from fans and fellow aviators alike.
