KC-97G Stratofreighter

 

The KC-97 Stratofreighter was an aerial refueling tanker variant of the C-97 Stratofreighter (which was itself based on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress), greatly modified with all the necessary tanks, plumbing, and "flying boom." The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right-side door. In addition, transferrable jet fuel was contained in tanks on the lower deck (G-L models). Both decks were heated and pressurized for high altitude operations.

 

 

 

Notes:
serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G). Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals.
Damage texture is in DDS.
End Service Year is 'best guess' (and longer than historical), but will cover until/if KC-97L is built and released.
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0 (zero). The standard bomb bay keystorke, Cntl/0 (oh) operates the refueling boom.

Nice job!  When I was in SE Asia, my outfit's base flight was still operating KC-97s as transports (not tankers) in 1969.

While working on a template for it I found that there's a 2/3rd of a pixel mapping shift between the left and right part of Nacelle2 (the right inboard engine nacelle; the other nacelles are affected by a much smaller shift - I'd say about 1/6th of a pixel at worst -, you have to be on top of it for it to be annoying, but on Nacelle2 it's fairly noticeable), any chance of a correction ?
