Tankers have been used in emergencies also, they were used in October, 1991 on the East coast when the "Perfect Storm" was happening. they were used to refill Coast Guard helicopters while they were out on the ocean saving people. i think that the tankers in the sky are a wonderful think and that men and airplanes are saved and we can fight longer and without any worry about running out of fuel. the ealier tankers were converted from passanger planes and they had huge tanks added inside of them. they allowed airplanes to go father andfight longer.
