KC-97L 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.

 

Serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G converted to L model). 18 serial decals are included. Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals.
Damage texture is in DDS.
A new userlist is included for the 2 main users (USAF, and Spain -3 aircraft)
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.
For skinners, within the Decals folder is a PSD to assist in the creation of other USAF ANG tail badges, as well as some base bmps for other decals to be made from.
A new combo "jet/recip" engine sound (borrowed from the P-2H Neptune) is included, as is the usual "4 engine piston" for those that find the other too loud.

Stratofreighter is the official, correct term. (Stratotanker is the 135, Stratrocruiser is the 337 civie bird)(Stratos is one of the CA community member!!)

requesting a B-50/RB-50 package when you can get to it.  Essentially a B-29 fuselage with KC-97 engines and a taller tail. They served about the same time as the KC-97.
