Seems to me this article should really be combined with the KC-97 article. There weren't enough cargo only versions, and not enough differences, to justify a separate article. M Van Houten 05:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I completley agree with that, the KC-97 is a variant of the C-97. The pages should be merged. --Colputt 15:25, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There were actually quite a few more c-97's converted to ELINT planes out of Wiesbaden, Germany and I flew on everyone of them. 8 were converted in various configurations, one with the biggest airborne camera ever made, two belonged to the CIA, 2 had a crew of 30 or so Intel officers on board, and a few others that came and went as mofified by General Dynamics in Forth Worth, TX. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.42.236.4 (talk) 06:16, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

USAF Pararescue water parachute jump in 1965 James Bond movie, "Thunderball"

[edit]

HC-97G(?) airdropped USAF Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) with parascuba gear at the end of the 1965 James Bond movie, "Thunderball"--yet Wiki article claims you couldn't airdrop from its rear?

The term "airdrop" relates to throwing cargo out the back not parachutists. MilborneOne (talk) 18:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
