Flew briefly with Seaboard World Airlines as N7321S in 1968 before becoming PP-VJY with VARIG. Sold to the Brazilian Air Force in April 1986, converted to KC-137E and flew in this colour scheme due to its use in the dual use in the Tanker/VIP role. Withdrawn from service at the end of 2013 and scrapped in April 2014. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
