Brad over on the WIX forum reports that Altus AFB, OK has received a KC-135 for display.

It took a few weeks to get her together but there is now a KC-135A on display at Altus AFB. She is 58-0070 and just needs a paint job to be finished. The wings were hacked off for transport and scabbed back on with various patches, plates, angle iron and screws. Once it’s under paint you won’t be able to tell except for the steel plates on top and bottom of the wings that hold the spar together!

Check out the thread on WIX for a lot more photos.
