Accommodation

Flightcrew of 4 and typical 147 passengers in two classes, up to 219 in high density configuration.

Notes

Long range airliner/freighter. In service since 1960. Exists in many versions. Today operates mostly as freighter and corporate transport. Base for many military developments: KC-135 (tanker), C-135 (freighter), EC-135 (special mission adaption), E3 (airborne warning and control aircraft) and E6 (submarine communications and command post).
