    Was watching RTÉ news this evening and one of trumps puppets landed in Israel on a 737. Didn’t think they had that range. Must be adapted ??

    Presumably stopped off somewhere? They’re through Shannon every now and again.

    Still a considerable number of US Air Force Bases in the UK Europe and Turkey, which can facilitate refuelling.

    This may help. The C-40s range all over the world, though not non-stop.

    For BBJs it all depends on the fuel tank installation, N737ER held the record for a flight Seattle - Jeddah.

    Stop off in Ramstein most likely I'd say, assuming it took off from the East Coast.
