From my Facebook page (https://facebook/PlanesTrainsShips): 7/13/85 - 8/31/85, Mojave, CA. Several views of NKC-135A 55-3122 (c/n 17238). Delivered to the USAF on 4/29/57 as a KC-135A, 55-3122 was dedicated full-time to test duties in 1958. After participating in numerous test programs over the next 35 years, she was retired to AMARC (the boneyard) on 10/19/93. As of July-2014, she was still listed on the AMARC inventory.
