The Boeing C-137 Stratoliner is a retired VIP transport aircraft derived from the Boeing 707 jet airliner used by the United States Air Force . Other nations also bought both new and used 707s for military service, primarily as VIP or tanker transports.

The C-137 should not be confused with the similar Boeing C-135 Stratolifter ; although they share a common ancestor the two aircraft have different fuselages, among other structural differences.
