Sorry to not include you Air Force buddy! Malmstrom Air Force Base is it a direct link with the tacamo plane. At one time, we had over 60 of them and who knows how many of them were in the are awaiting orders.

The O stands for "out," not "on."

Not sure if it was a typo on your part, it was a stratotanker not a Hercules. This is a door that I was thinking about that they should have opened even if there was a fire because we could have had a better chance of getting out instead of going one by one down the nose ladder.

Lawrence, do you have anybody else who could comment on my situation with the emergency procedure they evacuating a kc-135 stratotanker? Please read the dialogue between me and Lieutenant Jones. I thought maybe you could get somebody to clarify or maybe you were a crew chief yourself at one time?

LCDR (Join to see) in this movie, I believe a TACAMO plane took out Air Force One. I'm sure there are some flaws in the set that doesn't looks like a cockpit of a 707 derivative E-6B.
I know the Navy has different kinds of reconnaissance planes based on the old P3 Orion and the p-8 Poseidon. If you haven't seen the movie, the Secretary of the Interior has assumed the position of the president because they believe the POTUS actual is dead. He is alive and elements within the military are going to take out Air Force One because Secretary of the Interior, now the acting President wants to launch a counter strike on the Soviet Union even though the Russian president has said to the wounded actual POTUS that it was a rogue element within his military have started World War 3 by destroying Washington DC. It's an old school movie by describes some of their flying doomsday looking glass aircraft.
