EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force's Boeing RC-135U-BN Combat Sent 3, with the serial number 63-9792 (MSN 18706). Originally built as an RC-135B specification aircraft from the outset, it underwent modifications by Martin to become an RC-135C. The plane was later designated as RC-135U Project Combat Sent 3, serving for signal collection and analysis, specifically for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), from the early 1970s through 1987 and beyond. In the late 1980s, this aircraft was converted to an MDS RC-135V Rivet Joint, transitioning into an electronic intelligence (ELINT) aircraft. The RC-135V Rivet Joint is a vital asset for the US military, providing critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. This photograph, taken during the 1970s, captures a significant piece of aviation history in action.
