RC135S Recon Aircraft (Read 457 times)

Has anyone seen the RC135S that I've been reading about in the news? The North Koreans sent 4 MIGs to shadow the plane over international waters. Is it a secret aircraft?

The RC 135 looks like a KC 135 without the big boom in the tail. It is used for tracking aircraft and ground targets for the military. For those that don't know the KC135 it is the military version of the Boeing 707.

Did not see it in the news. Any other details? Maybe they are trying to show the N. Koreans as agressors also, so we can have a war on two fronts. That hasn't happened since WW2. Maybe we are looking at the infamous WW3 that the doomsdayers are so looking forward to... LOL.....

yes, the RC135S is the Rivitjoint, one of the US's most classified aircraft (just as much or more than the B-2)!!

it is a very powerful spyplane

the 135 is NOT a military version of the 707. They are two completely differant aircraft. The 707 is based on the 135 which is based on the Dash-80 prototype built by Boeing for the USAF

the 135 looks like a 707 with the windows removed
