Rivet joint is a converted B747, its the airborne command center......maybe, can't remember. Aurora.... you got me there, though Antonov design bureau make/made the coaler, and the an-225 carries the bigger payload, 225tons or so! It's name in Russian is Myria, D'you know what that means.

Jim
the Lockheed P-3C Orion,it's known as the CP-140
in Canadian service.
Rivet Joint is not the 747,you're thinking of the
E-4 command post,Rivet Joint is the RC-135V which
is the same airframe used for the KC-135,as well
as for the E-8 J-Stars and the E-6 Mercury.
But you did get the other two right

Don't really remember, C-17 perhaps, it's the only thing I remember blowing up. I know there's a couple of C-130's there too.
I was actually torn between 707 and 747 for that rivet joint!
Do you know What Myria means (the name of the An-225)?

Nope,the only medium transport that is seen taking
off is a single C-130,the other C-130 is seen at
the air base east of the rocket launch facility
in mission #8 "Shattered skies." the other mission
where you can see any more C-130's is in trial mission
#1.
I do know that the Miriya,is also known as the Cossack.

I'am probably going to get this wrong,but I'am going

well by South Vietnamese Air Force.
