First Rivet Joint delivered to the Royal Air Force
The first of three RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft lands at Royal Air Force Waddington, England, on Nov. 12. The historic occasion is the culmination of a 2010 agreement between the Department of Defense and the U.K. Ministry of Defense for the RAF to purchase three RJs. As the sole provider of Rivet Joint initial qualification training, the 55th Wing has trained more than 140 aircrew and ground maintenance personnel from the RAF at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., since the programs initiation in 2010.
