B52STRATO Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Too bad they did not install the refueling boom like on Sentry units. If there is no USAF KC-135 or KC-10 to support them in their ops area they will probably not have their feet long enough (mainly to reach the South Atlantic sector).

fallenphoenix1986 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Read somewhere the paint cheme was kept for heat disapation reasons... still how much could it have cost to apply a 707 based mod thats already been developed to a bird thats already plumed for IFR? Craig
