Unrelated Question...Forgive Me

Wileydog3....

Did you fly the early KC-135 with the old engines that had water on takeoff? How much thrust did those engines have...both with and without
water?

It's my understanding that the max takeoff weight for the 135 (under war time conditions) was 300,000 lbs. Is that correct?

Just want to calculate the thrust to weight is with one engine inopt. I heard the plane, at 300,000 lbs, didn't fly too well with one engine inopt.
