Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?

99 % of them over flights, the wonders of modern technology!

Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
Think you will find that the remaining EC-135C's are either in AMARG or act as gate guardians. Must find a way to get to Ellsworth to get my one and only needed extant C-135 derivative.
Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
If the RC-135S you need is 62-4128, it is just to the East of Paris as I type heading Northbound.

Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
It was tracking on ADS-B and is now on the ground at Mildenhall.
Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
Gee thanks - plmc135, been out so missed it on boxes, guess you can tell where I am now going.!!!
just got back and a really "BIG" Thanks to you plmc135 for the heads up, that leaves Active - 4x KC135R's and the TC135W - 62-4133
As you seem to be on the ball with these can you confirm wether or not the TC has been over, as I have it in my mind it has visited

Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
My total as at October 2008 was 599.
I’m about six years behind with my logging now - but doubt very much if I’ve made any in the intervening period!
Can anyone point me to current list of the survivors?

Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
It's all there on page two of this thread Arthur. It takes a bit of ploughing through due to how comprehensive it is but eventually you can weed out all those that are not current. Well done das.
To give you a bit of a start, the earliest aircraft still flying is 57-1419, so you can ignore all the 55- and 56- fiscals.

Very tempted to say "too manY" - heck, let's say it, "too many"!

Boom!
57-1508 at Mildenhall 20 September 2019
Number 681 leaving 6 active Boeings to go
( I haven't yet counted the ones I saw in AMARC - weird I know but I keep DM logs separate from other 'normal' sightings.
DM seems too easy - just turn up and there are all the F-111 etc that you missed in service)

Re: How many USAF C-135s have you seen?
58-0036 Mildenhall based Oct 2019 number 682, 5 remaining.
63-8018 home April 2020 : 683 , 4 remaining
Boom!
60-0334 Mildenhall June 2020 : Number 684 leaving 3 active Boeings remaining to see.
I now need 58-0055, 62-3580 and 62-4133 TC-135
Looking back, the first tanker I ever wrote down at Mildenhall was 58-0100 at Mildenhall on 5-March 1977 (although I wrote it down as 00100 !?
