Nice but how old is it, as I have heard that most of the rivet's are 40 plus years old.

Just a quick note: This Aircraft was a KC-135R serial no 64-14833 so this makes it a 50 years old airframe, almost every thing else
is totaly new as far as i am awere. Hope this of some help every one.








Regards HABU 71.

This is one of the oldest ex kc135's that was brought out of moth balling to be converted to an RC-135 the same can be assumed of the pending 2 aircraft!!

It's actually one of the youngest KC-135 airframes.

FY64 was the year of order. Typically an aircraft would be delivered eighteen months to two years later.

HABU71. FY64 was the year of order. Typically aircraft would be delivered eIghteen months to two years later. Less for off the shelf types like Cessnas, longer for problematic things like F-111Ds.
