Summary

edit
Description A technician hoists the front engine of a civil Boeing 707 Pratt & Whitney JT3D (military designation TF33) aircraft into position after securing the rear support on 6 December 1984. The Military Aircraft Disposition and Storage Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona (USA), was reclaiming commercial Boeing 707 aircraft, using engines and spare parts in a re-engineering program for Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker aircraft. The modifications to the KC-135E entailed changing the J57 engine for the TF33-PW-102 engines, improved brakes, avionics upgrades and new horizontal stabilizers. The KC-135E was 14 percent more fuel efficient than the KC-135A and could offload 20 percent more fuel.
