澳大利亚北领地，美澳“护身军刀-2011”联合演习中，澳大利亚空军第75中队的 F/A-18A 战斗机空中加油完毕等待僚机。（An Australian F/A-18 after refuelling from a United States KC-135 Stratotanker waits for the rest of his formation to finish refuelling prior to re-engaging in air-to-air operations as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2011. Air-to-air refuelling is essential for any air combat activity, and Exercise Talisman Sabre 2011 is no exception. From RAAF Base Darwin, up to four KC-135 Stratotankers of the United States Air Force have provided an ‘airborne fuel station’ for fighters engaged in the exercise. The KC-135 is equipped with a boom which can refuel aircraft such as the F-15C Eagle, or fitted with a hose-and-drogue to refuel F/A-18 Hornets of the Royal Australian Air Force or United States Navy.）
