707 - carries the ASTOR kit with ease... ive been told it doesn't carry it a high as a GX, which is a limitation, on the other hand no need to ship a ground based trailer about the place
With ease? Maybe better said 'with wheeze.'
The E-8C is a phenomenal bit of wizardry right up until they put it on used 707s with JT8Ds. Gas guzzling, underpowered, endlessly leaking pieces of sh1t. But other than that......
Still, the crap engines made for nice TDYs in my day since we couldn't stay at places close the fight.
Not so much anymore.....
(sorry guys/gals)
