MAC's C-135 verson also lacked a Flight Engineer panel, but they still wanted a third crewmember (fourth, counting the Navigator). Instead of a Boom Operator, they carried an enlisted "Flight Mechanic", who did the walkarounds and other external tasks, then sat in the folding jumpseat and performed most of the F/E duties. I flew the -135 in Systems Command, and we had a hodgepodge of SAC/MAC procedures, modified airplanes, and crew positions.
tom - did you fly the EC135 at Ellsworth??
