I agree Dan it looks like an RC-135D. As Wigzy said, SAC ops were relocated from Upper Heyford which meant there were usually 2 and sometimes 3, RC-135's plus 3 to 5 supporting KC-135A's at Lakenheath. At the end of Nov'70 they finally moved over to Mildenhall. The mass influx of KC-135's relocating from Torrejon to Mildenhall took place in Aug'76.DanBeeden wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 8:10 amGlorious shots - looks like the lifter is silver but has a grey finish on the tail & rear fuselage? What really caught my eye though is what is lurking in the background of the EC-130 shot - looks like an RC-135 of some type. RC-135D maybe?
Brilliant images - thanks for sharing.
