Can you ID this aircraft?

This image is taken from my Dad's archives that were discovered after his death so there's no context to go with the image. If you can help ID which aircraft it might be it would be greatly appreciated. Below is the little bit of information I have been able to gather from some helpful folks.


The patch on the 2-star's flight suit is from the 72nd Bombardment Wing that flew KC-135s and B-52s from 1959-1971 out of Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico.

UPDATE: Joe Copalman, fellow aviation fanatic from up in the wilds of Phoenix, cross-referenced it with a photo of a Looking Glass EC-135 and we have a match folks. Many thanks Joe, your next meal in Tucson is on me!
