Another annaversary for an old plane

[BobP]

Although this is a "modern" plane hard to think it has been doing its job for 60 years. I remember them when I was on Okinawa over 30 years ago.

That's way cool, and strange to think that the plane has been in service for 60 years.

Let us salute one of the unsung heroes, a workhorse without which others could not function.

Now I really feel old.

Other than the KC version there was also an EC (electronic/SIGINT) and RC (recon/ELINT) version of the plane. People don't realize how old some of the planes we have are.
