EC-135 Restoration Completed

摘要

A year-long restoration project has ended with the unveiling of Boeing EC-135L 61-0269 at the Grissom Air Museum near Peru, Indiana. Delivered to the USAF on December 8, 1961, its final assignment was with the 305th Air Refueling Wing prior to retirement in 1992. The jet had been based at Grissom between 1970 and 1974, and later participated in Operation Just Cause (the 1989-1990 US invasion of Panama to depose dictator Manuel Noriega) and the first Gulf War.
