| 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] |
