“We’ll be upgrading the fleet [of E-767 aircraft] to help it monitor and communicate for years to come,” said on Twitter.

The Boeing E-767 is an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. It was designed in response to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's requirements, and is essentially the Boeing E-3 Sentry's surveillance radar and air control system installed on a Boeing 767-200
