The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is an aerial refueling military aircraft. It and the Boeing 707 airliner were developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype. The KC-135 was the US Air Force's first jet-powered refueling tanker and replaced the KC-97 Stratotanker. The Stratotanker was initially tasked to refuel strategic bombers, but was used extensively in the Vietnam War and later conflicts such as Desert Storm to extend the range and endurance of Air Force, Navy and Marine tactical fighters and bombers.

Not an Air America, Inc. or Pacific Corporation subsidiary -- but Continental Airlines' contribution to the Vietnam war effort. CASI flew transports for USAID and other private contractors in Laos, Vietnam and other countries. This is a museum quality reproduction of a locally made Pilots wing made is Laos. Not a very common wing. Note it uses a cotter pin for the back attachment (not provided).

Vietnam US Army SF wing Badge Sterling Air Borne

This is a museum quality reproduction of a very unusual wing badge from the Vietnam era made in sterling silver.  This is one of the many unofficial badges the SF troops had made in country.  This wing is raher unique in that the base wing is from the US Army Air Service of 1919 -1920 era and then had the center part soldered into place.

Even during Vietnam everyone knew that this airline was a front for the CIA. But they ran it as an airline to tried and make believe it was an airline. Even with commercial looking wings. Here is a reproduction in sterling silver of the Stewardress wings which are a very rare 1/2 wing with clutch backs as were the originals.
