Summary
| Description |
English: A Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighter (s/n 52-2630) at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The USAF retired its last C/KC-97 in 1973, but others remained in use with the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard as tankers or search and rescue aircraft. During "Operation Creek Party", which started in 1967 and lasted for 10 years, U.S. Air National Guard and U.S. Air Force Reserve tankers supported active duty USAF and NATO units in Europe. The aircraft on display, flown by the 160th Air Refueling Group of the Ohio Air National Guard, participated in this operation, and on 7 June 1973, the mayor of Zeppelinheim, a town near Rhein-Main Air Base in West Germany (today part of Frankfurt International Airport), christened this aircraft in his town's honour. In 1977 Zeppelinheim became part of the city of Neu-Isenburg. The KC-97L Zeppelinheim was flown to the USAF museum in August 1976.
Deutsch: Ein Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighter (s/n 52-2630) im National Museum of the United States Air Force. Die USAF schickte ihre letzte C/KC-97 1973 in den Ruhestand, aber andere blieben bei der Air Force Reserve und der Air National Guard als Tankflugzeuge oder Such- und Rettungsflugzeuge im Einsatz. Während der „Operation Creek Party“, die 1967 begann und 10 Jahre dauerte, unterstützten die Tankflugzeuge der U.S. Air National Guard und der U.S. Air Force Reserve den aktiven Dienst der USAF und der NATO-Einheiten in Europa. Das ausgestellte Flugzeug, das von der 160th Air Refueling Group der Ohio Air National Guard geflogen wurde, nahm an dieser Operation teil, und am 7. Juni 1973 taufte der Bürgermeister von Zeppelinheim, einer damals selbständigen Gemeinde in der Nähe des Rhein-Main-Flughafens (heute Teil des Internationalen Flughafens Frankfurt), dieses Flugzeug zu Ehren seiner Stadt. Im Jahr 1977 wurde Zeppelinheim Teil der Stadt Neu-Isenburg. Die KC-97L Zeppelinheim wurde im August 1976 in das USAF-Museum geflogen. (Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)). |
