Anyone who knows if KC-135R 62-3545 is still present at Charleston and in what state it currently is? Last year it was missing a lot of parts including engines and tail but it is still counted as active.

Thanks in advance!

[foc1]

They started scrapping it in August last year, there was no sign of any of it the last few times I have visited so I would guess it has all gone.

[DIMMU83]

Thanks for the information. So I guess that's one less KC-135R after all. Still 396 going strong
