| David Underwood Tampa, FL | 61-0327 is currently in the Robins AFB museum. I was the CSO on her final flight. She served us well and aided in the changing of the course of nations by carrying CINCCENT around the world several times. Gen's Schwartzkopf, Peay, Zinni, and Franks called her and another 135 (0125) home as they traveled the AOR. 02/28/2013 @ 04:55 [ref: 67623] |

| JOHN L. BARTLEY II Mojave, CA | I was a flight engineer on the EC-135Es. The EC-135Es were C-135 airframes and not Boeing 707-323 airframes, converted to A/RIA aircraft. The tail numbers 61-0891 thru 61-0898 were all EC-18Bs, 707-323s. The EC-135Es tail numbers were 60-0374, 60-372, 60-0375, 61-326, 61-327, 61-328, & 61-0329. 61-0328 crashed in Maryland in the early 1980s. 610327 was converted back to the original configuration of a tanker, but it had a water tank for high altitude icing test aircraft. I know that 60-0374 is at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. As for the rest, they went to the AMARC in Tuscon, Arizona, retired. 12/29/2006 @ 13:48 [ref: 15034] |
