On the subject of AEW (or AWACS) and Boeing 707, the Israeli Air Force came up with their own solution (and sold one to the Chilean Air Force): the EL/M-2075 Phalcon, which may be in the running for the ugliest airplane ever...
The Israelis also have the EL/M-2085, which is based on the Gulfstream G550 and is also a bit, uh, beauty-challenged, but apparently very good: Being bought by the USA among others. (The photo is Singapore Air Force.)
We can conclude that the Israelis know how to build ugly aircraft and also have weird designation systems.
