Hello,
A couple of years ago, I found two pictures of 61-2662 and 2663 at McClellan AFB, CA, circa 1960's as they are both in M.A.T.S. livery. Photos are grainy and black and white, but distinguishable numbers are there.
I'm sending them along in case you might find them reusable.
Great web Site.

Web-guy,
I was the guy who signed for 61-2664 at LTV-E Systems in '72. I was assigned to the 6th SRW as an Assistant Crew Chief on RC-135D 60-0357 at the time. Crew Chief'ed both 663 and 664 at times, and eventually all three "D's". Delivered 60-0357 to Offutt and the 55th in January of '74. Was on hand at Eielson when 662 arrived just before I retired.

The C-135 is still my all time favorite airfame.
