Eager eyes were on the sky on Wednesday morning in Tampa as just over a dozen military refuelers took flight. It was part of "Operation Violent Storm" where MacDill's KC-135s took off in a show of force. This mass fly-off is symbolic, tracing back to World War II. Several spectators gathered at MacDill Air Force Base to watch the 13 planes take flight, and even more across Tampa Bay stopped what they were doing to watch the planes. ►Subscribe: https://on.wtsp.com/youtube ►Website: https://www.wtsp.com/ ►Facebook: https://facebook.com/10TampaBay ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/10TampaBay
