Beginning operation in 1950, the radial engine KC-97 Stratotanker was an aerial refueling aircraft, replacing the C-97 Stratofreighter. An aviator would lower a “flying boom” to the nose of following aircraft while in flight for refueling. The KC-97 ran on aviation gasoline, but provided jet fuel in air and the plane was designed to handle both fuel systems independently. At its peak, the USAF ordered 816 KC-97’s from Boeing. KC-97’s were retired, completely, in 1978.
