This 135 has an interesting history, built as an A, it was converted to RC-135D and served 4157th SW from Jul'67. It was rebuilt to RC-135R(RT) in the late 80s and served 305th ARW until early '93. From Mar-Sep'93 it was reported with programmed depot maintenance (PDM) at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (OC-ALC), then there is a gap in service, but again PDM at Pemco Aeroplex, Birmingham (AL) from Aug98-Apr00 (!). Then it was reported with the Pacer-Compass, Radar And GPS programme at Mojave (CA) and became a Special Operations Aircraft. Last reported as LTV Air Refuelling Receiver.
