KC-135 Parking Only


Recommended Posts

It would seem so! I am so doing this one. It's kinda hard to tell but it looks to have the same kind of drogue housing next to the boomers pod that the KC-10 used. Thanks for posting this up Andrew.

61-0320 is the Serial number on it. I tried to find pics that show it from the underside or back but no dice. If it is used in Test, that housing on the side may be a camera housing. I'm sure you may be able to dig up some better references.

Yep, the 445th Flight Test Squadron owns that jet. It's a T-model (ex-Q) and is equipped with telemetry recording sensors and cameras in those pods.

Here is a better shot from Wiki
