Ah right, cheers, thought it looked like a 707 but the engines look too large and it seemed too quiet!, guess they've upgraded them over the years on the KC!
Edit - they have

Remaining in-service KC-135A's have been modified with new CFM-56 engines produced by CFM-International. The re-engined tanker, designated the KC-135R, can offload 50 percent more fuel, is 25 percent cheaper to operate and is 96 percent quieter than the KC-135A.

That is certainly low for an airliner. You can fly as low as you like until your courage runs out or you get it wrong-finally! As long as you have a bit of speed and good conditions it is easy to fly very low indeed because you have good control response. It is a bit tricky to gauge your height over smooth water, snow, and flat featureless land. There are minimum heights allowed for normal training but that can be waived for special reasons in defined areas. I once had a specific job in a Varsity which has large propellors which project below the fuselage with the wheels up. My brief was not to let the propellors touch the sea's surface. If you go to the Brooklands Air Museum you will see a Varsity which I have flown in that particular job. You can gauge the distance of the propellors below the fuselage. All good hooligan stuff.
