KC-135 lands at Orlando Int today, anybody know why??

I was heading down Bear road on my way into work at MCO today when I saw something a little out of the norm.
As I rounded the corner to the long strait which puts you right at the end of the runways on that side of the airport, a aircraft on final caught my attention.

First because it had four engines & it wasn't a 747 or A340, theres not much that lands on that side with four engines.
I slowed so the aircraft would head right over my roof & I could get a better look "always a fun to do there".

As the aircraft got closer I noticed it looked like a 707, then the large engines & gray paint gave it away.
It was a damn KC-135, but what the heck was it doing at MCO??

The KC-135 seemed to come in pretty low, lower then most aircraft I have seen there.
It came right over my roof & man was it loud.
I had never seen a KC-135 in flight, it's a very impressive airplane, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

So does anybody have any insider info on what it was doing at MCO??
I asked our operations guy but he had no info.
