The Navy's P-8 is a 737 ASW mod.I've always wondered why Boeing didn't design their 737's with an 'exchangeable belly'......from passenger carry to bomber within a day or so. Doesn't seem like that would be hard to do.
? The P-8 is a modified 737 with Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities. Most of our planes are based of something else. E-3 and E-6 are modded 707's. The 135 tanker is a 737.
Far cry from being able to just swap modules and switch from a passenger to a bomber.
Not disputing it being an impressive collection, but it sounds like those contracts for private air forces may be disappearing.
He can probably contract out to a country other than the US.
That's a hornets nest!
Yep, I'm sure there are some third world countries that can't afford to buy new aircraft that want to take out their neighbors.
Nigeria, lol
Nah, all those Nigerian princes have loads of money! They'll get their aircraft new from the factory with all that money from the cashed checks......
The -135 isn’t a 737. It’s a smaller cousin of the 707 design.
