If the airframe in your picture is indeed SAM 27000 (which looks like it is in a museum) ... then that would mean that the VC-137C that I have seen flying would most probably be SAM 26000. I find that a little hard to believe. Can you confirm that the pictures linked above are indeed of airframe 27000?
