Okay, it's a KC-135T! 22 years ago I wanted a Six. The Army wanted me more (or I guess I ended up with them instead) but for the past 5 years I took the USAF. This is the "Wing-King Jet" for the 319th ARW at Grand Forks AFB, ND and I am it's Dedicated Crew Chief. Quite an honor.  I'd love to see pics of your jets! Mark |

Is that a reworked "Q" model? I worked tankers and white tops at Ellsworth for a number of years (the gouge marks on I-90 were visible for a decade from SAC dragging me screaming and kicking from the 49er's ramp  ) My very favorites were the "R" models. Now there was an engine! |

They put new engines (CFM-56-2, or what the USAF calls an F-108) on and got rid of the search light but the plumbing is still pretty much the same. If we had to we could put 'special fuel' back in the body tanks after a good flushing and it would act just like it did when it was a Q-model. Other than a couple switches it refuels just like an R-model. The tricky thing is when we have to transfer fuel or leak-check a drouge - stuff like that. You just have to remember which model you're on and follow the job guides!
