Sorry, but that's not an EC-135 interior. That's the interior of a launch silo command center, most likely a Titan silo. The biggest giveaway is the power boxes at the far end of the room with the power lines running up out of the bunker. In the EC-135, any power lines would be running underfloor. Not only that, but there are more than 2 crew members on an EC-135.

Here is a couple of pictures of the EC-135's interior -

It isn't a Titan silo either. It isn't big enough. I'd say it is a Minuteman control bunker.

Could be right. Missile bunkers aren't my thing. I was guessing it wasn't an Atlas room because it was a bit too "modern", but didn't think it was Minuteman because it didn't look "modern" enough. :)
