Napoleon_Tanerite Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 B707/B720. Point? The reason 135 guys get a B707 type is because there is simply no -80 type out there. The 135 is shorter, narrower, and has a shorter wing span than the 707. Furthermore, every single major system of the two airplanes is substantially different. They are not the same, or even really that similar beyond outside appearance.

Thanks, it's always good for a laugh.

As with anything AF the rule of threes apply. The Mighty Stratobladder has three things in common with the E-3/E-8/707...1) They are Boeing, 2) They have the same yoke and 3) They have the same sliding window. Any tanker driver that says he files a 707 should be throat-punched. Plus, the -80 and -135 kicked off the 707. /rant off

Throttle back, dude. I'd love to trade in my 40+ year old airplane for one of yours. Just pointing how how ridiculous this urinary battle is.

I was just busting your balls, as I do with all my bros who still fly those Herks with the smoky engines. :beer: Edited October 7, 2012 by LockheedFix
TacAirCoug Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 No worries. It just cracks me up how guys get so bent out of shape over pointless shit, this 707/135 crap being the latest example. 1

sky_king Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 At least we can all agree that an E-8 and and E-3 do basically the same job.

Napoleon_Tanerite Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Garbage in, garbage out. Gotta love my nav having to direct RV because the tanker showed up bingo SA
