        great story.
        at 17k hours compared to an airline, it is nothing. Minimal crews at all times, there is no pig associated like a tanker.
        I'd be plucking one out of the junk yard confidently too.

        I see that one was in frigid minot AFB... very cold plane. Cryogenics forever.

        i am wondering when the plane I was assigned to will have a similar story.. climbing back out of a junk pile, but kc135s are so way outdone. They were done at 35 years...never mind 50.

        I hope they use LEd lights.
