Mozzy19 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I don't want to be one of the conspiracy theorists, but the purchase of the '135's makes me think that the Isralies are planning long range strikes against a certain country... Of course I'm probably wrong and they just want some tankers but the imagination is a wonderful thing and all that... And an Osprey in Israeli colours would look good too.

Dave Fleming Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) They already have 707 based tankers, and have had for a long time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wooden_Leg) - I guess they couldn't find any more suitable 707s for conversion. http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/ariel-view/2012/02/the-israeli-airforce-707-tankers---old-but-capable.html The KC-135s also have a greater fuel transfer capacity.

I told you I was probably wrong. Interesting read that wiki link.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
