Re: KC-135 modules for HP-41 Message #2 Posted by Karl Schneider on 3 Jan 2007, 11:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by Miki Mihajlovic
Hi, Miki --
The KC-135 is an aircraft still used by the United States Air Force. Its basis is the same Boeing 367-80 platform that was developed for the Boeing 707 commercial aircraft. The KC-135 is configured for cargo (hence, the "C"), and modified to provide aerial refueling to other aircraft (hence, the "K").
I suspected that the HP-41 modules included programs that the flight crew would use to perform flight and loading calculations. Now, after seeing the post below and pictures, maybe only the loadmasters use it...
Here are a few links:
