KC-97 Stratotanker - likley a bit before young Barker's time.

Too bad about the fire. Console yourself, it would have consumed any
digital media *and* the reader equipment.

Chris,
I think the tanker was a KC135, but I'm not positive. I'm pretty sure it
was a KC130-something. Can you tell from this?

I had several hundred shots taken on joy rides with the USAF back in the
early to mid '60s, but 95 percent of everything I shot before August of 1967
was lost in a house fire. The half dozen shots of this type I have left
were at the tail end of a roll of other stuff that didn't get incinerated.
