| Tom , VA | Question:
Why is the Knee Cap different on #1 than what it is on 2,3 and 4? 08/24/2012 @ 07:20 [ref: 66403] |
| Tim M , KY | E models were as quiet as "R" models when you were comparing them to an "A" frame 04/13/2010 @ 19:45 [ref: 26018] |
| Bryan B , NJ | Worked as Asst CC on KC-135E 59-1497 for a few years then was Lead CC on 56-3626 until that was retired. Both were great acft. Can't wait to get my R-Model 10/17/2007 @ 11:15 [ref: 18218] |
| Jerry Beaty , TX | I was among the initial cadre instructor pilot group that checked out in the KC-135E. Compared to the A-model, this variant was a sweetheart to fly and provided additional versatility for short field operations. It could carry twice it's ZFW in fuel and still takeoff on a hot Arizona day. Tail # -1496 still had the turbo-compressors installed. Plenty of power, smaller noise footprint and plenty of legs. Once flew non-stop, unrefueled from Andersen AFB, Guam, to Sky Harbor IAP, Phoenix, AZ. 12/17/2006 @ 15:47 [ref: 15029] |
