On the 27th of January 2026, a USAF Boeing TC-135W sporting serial ’62-4129′ visited LMML on a technical stop on its way from Al Udeid to RAF Waddington.
The Boeing TC-135 is a specialized training aircraft derived from the Boeing C-135 family, which also includes the KC-135 Stratotanker and the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft. Its primary mission is to train aircrews for the highly complex intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations conducted by the RC-135 fleet. While it does not normally perform operational intelligence missions itself, the TC-135 plays a crucial role in maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of U.S. Air Force reconnaissance forces.
