From the 185th Refueling Wing of the Iowa Air National Guard in Sioux City comes a KC-135 Stratotanker. Sorry for the date stamp in the video for some reason i came on.
this is my brother airman ben davis,s squad at qc airshow 06 he helped set it up to get them there flying out of sioux city ia he was in the croud that day good job guys
The E models with the JT-3D's that came off of the retired 707/720B airliners are not that noisy when compared to the original A models with the water injected straight jets, talk about noisy airplanes. Are any E models now being flown?
i think they still have some e model tankers on the base here in sioux city but they dont fly em anymore since they got the r model idk if they could retrofit them with the r model engines or not to make em flyable again but they just wouldnt look as nice with those huge engines on em in my opinion i like the slimmer 707 engines even if they do produce less thrust and alot more noise than the newer kc-135r's
