EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, we see the Boeing KC-97G-145-BO Stratofreighter O-30272 (msn 17054, 53-0272) proudly displayed at the Milestones of Flight Museum, located at General William J. Fox Airfield in Lancaster, California. The year is estimated to be around 1975. The Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter was a military variant of the commercial Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, which was designed for long-range transport and refueling missions. This particular aircraft, O-30272, served with the California Air National Guard before it found a home at the Milestones of Flight Museum. The KC-97G-145-BO model was an advanced version of the KC-97, featuring improved engines and avionics. The aircraft's distinctive hump on the fuselage housed the refueling equipment, making it an essential asset for the military during the Cold War era. Sadly, the Milestones of Flight Museum is no longer in operation, but this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich aviation history that once thrived at General William J. Fox Airfield. The Boeing KC-97G-145-BO Stratofreighter O-30272 stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation technology during the mid-20th century. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, with the KC-97G-145-BO Stratofreighter O-30272 looking majestic against the backdrop of the Californian sky. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, inviting us to reflect on the incredible advancements that have shaped the world of aviation.
