Hi all
I am trying to track down a few missing KC-135's, if anyone knows their fate I would be grateful.
60-0338 KC-135Q Last seen at Rome Air Development Centre, Newport, NY - is it still here (in bits) ?
60-0369 GNC-135A ?
60-0378 C-135A Tinker AFB, BDR, is it still here, if so where on the airfield ?
61-0330 EC-135E Kirkland AFB, NM, is it still here, if so where on the airfield / range ?
Many thanks.
Stewart

Found on airliners.Net - This aircraft served for twelve years as an Airborne Nuclear Weapons Monitor Platform (as an NC-135A) before being retired to Chanute as a GNC-135A Maintenance Trainer for student technicians. When Chanute closed the aircraft was cut in half with the forward fuselage going to Wright Patterson Air Force Base as a Fire Training Aid. After reclaim of engines and other parts the remainder of the airframe was scrapped on site.simon wrote:60-0369 GNC-135A ? Reported destroyed Oct/1991
