How many USAF C-135s have you seen?

[Mike s]

I've seen 196
99 % of them over flights, the wonders of modern technology!

[slogen51]

Boom !

57-1436 RCH 554 in Mildenhall today 10 June 2018

Number 678 , Nine operational C-135s to go.

[Weazel69]

slogen51 - my personal tally needed is - 4 Active - KC135R's - one of which - 62-3524 sbs.tracked to Europe for TDY the other day - 1 - RC135S - 1 - TC135W & 1 - EC135C So you've a bit to go yet!!

[plmc135]

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.

If the RC-135S you need is 62-4128, it is just to the East of Paris as I type heading Northbound.

[slogen51]

I need 62-4133 TC-135 quite common at USAF airshows but not the ones I went to!

[Blackcat1]

Yay just seen a new 1 for me!

237 now for me

[Weazel69]

note to plmc135 - yes that's the ONE, how did you know, a good guess.?? at least it's about and to you slogen51 yep I need that ONE also.!!
just for the record my FIRST 135 Logging was - 7120thACCS - EC135A - 61-0262 - 29.08.1966 - RAF MILDENHALL

[plmc135]

It was tracking on ADS-B and is now on the ground at Mildenhall.

[Weazel69]

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

[slogen51]

Boom !

63-7996 AFRC the Mildenhall Nacho on the ground 25/8/2018

Number 679 leaving 8 operational C-135 to go

Sorry a bit self indulgent of me!

[Arthur Tee]

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?

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.

Thanks - missed that altogether!

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

[slogen51]

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)

[slogen51]

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 !?

[rh226]

58-0055 is at Kadena and 62-3580 is at Niagara Falls
