RC-135X Cobra Eye

I've just downloaded the new Command LIVE scenario (Don of a new era) and, as is my want, I'm looking through the platforms, adding some descriptions and photos as I do to the database to increase the educational aspects.

So, in doing so, I've come across the RC-135X Cobra Eye sitting at RAF Mildenhall. My understanding is that this was a briefly existing missile watcher from the late 80's. Anyone know what it's doing in 2016?

Cheers,

Byron

In 1993, it was converted into an additional RC-135S Cobra Ball. (Wikipedia)

Yes it's a minor mistake, you should replace it with the Cobra Ball in the editor.
