It's official and public now:
All the KC-137R family is undergoing engine updates.
We are switching from CFM56-5B4 to CFM56-5B7, same thrust, better model.
Plus the IAE V2500-A5 are receiving a new performance profile and models updates.
In additions, E-8R is getting many attentions, as well as the C-137R.
We're in a revolutionary state!
