We then loaded up and went to work.
There were a lot of radio callsigns used by Army and Air Force Units....and I am sure the Navy and Marines and ways of identifying their aircraft.
Almost 900 C-135's have been built in a long list of Models.....the Q model became T models when the new engines were installed
Beagle old boy......the Vietnam War is fifty years gone....what does it matter what he is asking.
Please don't suggest asking questions about C&C back then....or what antennas are on an airframe has to do with OPSEC.
If you can photograph the aircraft in clear view of an airfield....then it really doesn't matter what you are looking at.
That alone will not expose the full capabilities of the aircraft no matter what it is.
We know the U-2, WB-57, F-4, F-15, F-15, F-18 all have Recon versions and Electronic Warfare versions.....we know where a lot of these aircraft were and are being used today.....talking about that harms nothing.
Oh the other hand...if you are an insider and are talking out of school about genuine classified capabilities that is quite a different thing.
Best answer I can give is "Google is your friend on this.".
Thanks SAS
actuslly I was after info from SEA regarding. Your knowledge of following lol
- Eagle One calling ‘to bag them up in ice’ and be reanimated 2 decades later for hostage rescue on a dam
- Major Stryker’s activities pre 3 Mile Island involving a chap with steel in his limbs and trendy Clint Eastwood sideburns
- The names of all the Medusa hit squad apart from the traitor Cain
- and proof of the Smoking mans invovlement with the JFK assaisantion
Can’t remember in which boook about Borneo where a Shackleton or something similar used as an airborne command post...nothing exotic as VC-10 ( our equivalent of the 135)
