That looks like a Boeing 707.

It is, more or less. Same basic airframe as the KC-135 tanker. They put a radome on it and called it AWACS, there is a cargo-only version, other radar/surveillance planes as well as some I've forgotten, all based on the same Boeing design. The civilian 707 was very similar but not quite the same fuselage.

Good eye, that’s what the E6-B is based on.
