Its wing-tip refuelling pods already removed, this KC-135RG was readied for retirement when this picture was taken during Bastille Day 2025, the last appearance of this type over Paris. A few days later, it made its last flight with the French Air Force to Nimes, to be sold to Metrea. It wears special tail markings, commemorating its years of faithful service.

The latest flight of KC-135s in the French Air Force payed a visit to Toulouse before their transfer and storage to Nimes airport; This one carries a special livery celebrating the end of duty after 61 years in the French Strategic Air Force for the kind of aircraft. This well-deserved retirement marks the definitive turning of a page. Note that it is no longer equipped with the flexible in-flight refuelling basket.
