The Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker was used first in 1950 and onward until replaced by the KC-135. Although the KC-97 gave good service to the USAF for several years, its piston engines made it slow in comparison to the new generation of jet-powered aircraft it had to refuel, and the midair refueling operation was often difficult.

Why is the Royal Canadian Navy the senior service of Canada?

The RCN is the senior service because it was the first established professional military force in Canada. Prior to 1910 there was only the militia was a permenant force. And since the militia is not a professional standing military force the RCN resides as the senior service. Or I am completely wrong and it has to do with the British tradition of the navy always being the first established force. In any way, the RCN takes precedence before the other services on parade.
