  • do they all look the same? If not that looks like my dads plane

  • both the C-135 and 707 airframes came from the 367-80, the prototype for both aircraft.

  • KC 135 is design from Boeing 707 with modern equipment. check out Bo

    eing .com

  • what is the role of this plane?

  • To refuel tactical aircraft in the air.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this aircraft i remember riding one from travis AFB to Yokota AFB in Japan. quite an experience. :D

  • god i hate thoas planes they fly over my house every day i mean could the runway be at a different angle

  • I'm pretty sure the airport and runway were there long before the houses. Yell at the builders. Better yet, don't buy a house that's by an airport.

  • do some history work....

  • sorry but a kc-135 is not a 707....thanks for playing...

    The KC-135 is derived from the original Boeing jet transport "proof of concept" demonstrator, the Boeing 367-80 (commonly called the "Dash-80"). As such, it has a narrower fuselage and is shorter than the Boeing 707 jetliner. Boeing gave the tanker the designation of Model 717.[1] The 367-80 was the basic design for the commercial Boeing 707 passenger aircraft as well as the KC-135A Stratotanker.

  • well, whatever it is close enough to being a Boeing 707

  • the kc135 is not a 707...

  • It's based off the 707 model, same with the E-3, E-6, and E-8

  • not so much!

  • that is my dad base lol he is in the 121st they have a lik a million of those kc 135s and some c 130s

  • yes this is a 707. The Air Force rename it to 717.

  • no sorry its not 707

  • i like the way it looks with those bigger engines

  • is it actually a 707?

  • no its not a 707

  • I guess you know more than me. Look it up!

  • look what up?

  • One more thing, I have ten years working on this aircraft. I do not need history. I have flown this aircraft also.

  • ok gotcha. no more history lessons....

  • no its not

  • It looks so unusual with the newer bigger engines.

    The takeoff itself seemed really quiet and effortless.

  • Those engines have been on the 'A' model tankers since the late 80's. They are now KC-135 'R' models.
