If it was a standard KC-135 which was designed and built for the USAF, there was no FE panel or FE station.

But the French 135s may have the FE station, as I've not a clue if they do or not.

Or E-3s? Plenty of those still around, the French AF have 4 of them.

As I read it, the job is for LAMEs, ground engineers, not Flight Engineers.
