Hmm, so it's a stretched 727-200 Advanced. I think that gives it a little more fuel capacity (55,000 lbs or so) and a takeoff weight just over 200,000 pounds. Not sure about the range, but I don't think it would be over 3,000 miles.
I don't know why I'm so fascinated with the things, I've just always thought the 727 was/is the sexiest jetliner ever built. :) Nothing tops the Lockheed Constellation for sheer aircraft sex appeal (airliner division) but the 727's a close second in my book.

"Not sure about the range, but I don't think it would be over 3,000 miles." However, since it's been converted to a tanker, how many thousands could you add to that?
