My grandson, who lives in Medford, OR, just celebrated his 10th birthday in a retired/"restored" SAC Boeing KC-97. From the photos his mom posted on Facebook it looks like it's still all there -- instruments etc. -- for kids to explore and play pilot. Rent is $150/day or $85/half day. It can seat up to 49 people. Who wouldn't remember a party in a KC-97? Beats the heck out of a McDonalds birthday party!
A shame they couldn't fire up the old radials and let them rumble and smoke. They had them at PHX Sky Harbor when I was a kid (KC-97L with jet assist) and they were fascinating to watch and listen to.
Thanks for posting, WyoNewK!!! What a cool idea! Would love to try to make it out there for a flight some day. As much as I love jets, I always regretted not trying to ride on one of the EC-121 "Connies" that were at Homestead AFB, FL when I was there in the late '70s.
Chief, to my knowledge they don't give rides in it. I think currently it just sits on the tarmac. Warbird flights are available in many locations, and some of them tour the U.S. offering rides in numerous towns.
