A KC-135 Stratotanker takes off for a mission from Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, on July 24. Unusually hot weather for this part of England caused a heat wave to distort the lower image of the nearly 50-year-old tanker, just as the heat from the turbofan engines distorts the view of trees behind it.
