The Boeing 707 ushered in the jet age of passenger transport, transforming global aviation. As Boeing's first highly successful commercial jet, it dominated the skies in the 1960s and 1970s, shortening distances and connecting continents. Its robustness and revolutionary design were so remarkable that they served as the basis for several military aircraft, including VIP transport and aerial refueling versions.

In 1986, the Brazilian Air Force took a strategic leap forward by acquiring four Boeing 707s from Varig, which were converted into the multi-role military version, the KC-137. Nicknamed "Sucatão," these quadjets became the backbone of strategic transport and, crucially, the FAB's in-flight refueling (REVO) capability. For the first time, Brazilian fighter jets could be refueled by a jet, dramatically increasing their range and operational flexibility in a country of continental dimensions.

This exclusive artwork by Alexandre Guedes depicts the KC-137E, registration FAB 2404, operated by the 2nd/2nd Transport Group – the "Corsário Squadron," based at Galeão Air Base. Before serving the nation, this aircraft, manufactured in 1968, flew for Varig under the registration PP-VLK. FAB 2404 performed numerous troop transport and REVO missions, including vital support for Brazilian troops in Haiti. This piece pays homage to an aircraft that, for 27 years, projected Brazil's strength and presence around the world.
