EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighter 53-0230 (MSN 17012), proudly preserved at the Air Mobility Command Museum located at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Circa 2000, this historic aircraft stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of American aviation engineering. The KC-97L Stratofreighter, a military variant of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, was a versatile and essential asset during the Cold War era. Its primary role was as a refueling tanker, enabling extended flight ranges for military aircraft. With an impressive maximum takeoff weight of 158,000 lbs and a range of over 4,000 miles, the KC-97L was a formidable presence in the skies. This specific aircraft, 53-0230, was manufactured in 1953 and served in the United States Air Force until its retirement in 1978. After a distinguished military career, it was preserved and added to the Air Mobility Command Museum's collection. Today, it remains a cherished piece of aviation history, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the crucial role that transport aircraft played in shaping the course of military aviation. The Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighter 53-0230 continues to captivate and inspire, standing as a symbol of American engineering prowess and a tribute to the men and women who have served in the United States Air Force.
