Um, I’m confused. a 707 is a jet. A KC 135 is a turboprop.

KC-135s are jets.

Um, I’m confused. a 707 is a jet. A KC 135 is a turboprop. KC-135 is the USAF designation for the in-flight refueler built on a Boeing 707 airframe, and as such it is a 4 engined jet. KC-10 is a refueler built on the DC-10 airframe.

A KC 135 is a turboprop Ummm, no - a KC-135 is a 707 airframe - a tanker. If not, someone tell my son who is an AC on the KC-135 tanker (jet)

I believe you are thinking of a KC-130. Which is a tanker version of the C-130. The KC-130 has four turboprops as do all versions of the C-130. Only off by one number so pretty easy to make that mistake.

A KC 135 is a turboprop......"
KC135 is a jet powered tanker. I think you mean KC-130, which is a turboprop.
