Jimmy Jillickers, I remember driving this ten year plus back

FS9 does have these treasures to dig out again and again, doesn't it?
Turn 'n burn ... gosh it does rather have the bearing of a ship, the more you look at it!
That prow jutting out, Cap'n on the bridge above. Goodonya Mr. 'Pin

Thank you Charl , i shall be revisiting this old girl again. Nice to get back to basics some times , to be honest , all this pre par , super X + extra (and then some) what ever, is just too much ... i just want to see an aircraft i like doing what it should do ... and that's flying , with a few fluffys in the background . Horses for courses i guess , but i prefer the horse as opposed to the course.
Thanks for looking.

Way back when I was being paid by the USAF, that was the front line tanker - still looks impressive.

We never had the tanker variant but the USAFs C-97s was a visitor with the C-124s and US Navy C-121J here in Christchurch, guess one off the reasons I had to have A2As Stratocruiser, between the ages of 6 to 8 but these types stuck in my brain case because simply looked impressive.

Are those... jet engines??

That is a regular feature with most aircraft of the era, the first they found it successful with was the Convair B-36 using four J-47 engines for extra boost with its six R4360 Wasp Majors, this setup was so useful it followed suit with the Lockheed Neptune and later with the KC-97.
