I notice that the KC135 E has just been retired, another aircraft that served well

The KC 135 has not been retired (at least not with teh USAF). It will take quite some time to be replaced. There are over 500 of them and the USAF says that it could take up to 2040 to replace them all. An actual replacement has to be found in the first place.

I just saw a KC 135 take off from Ramstein when I was up there on Tuesday.
