Must be a great aircraft - how old are the airframes now? 40 years old?

They need to modernize and get some new tankers.

I had a lot of pucker time on take off, when they had the J-57 engines and we were heavy. No problems for 8 years nary an engine shut down, now they have upgraded the engines, this bird will be around forever.
