Wasn't there a tanker version??
Its almost like every crewman having a set of controls .... who needs the Captain other than turn left , turn right , and the other importants ones ........ um... oh yeah , Up and Down
The Variants range from the 50 connie compieition , the airliner to the the tanker KC-97 and its models to the C97 transports , even electronic EC's to HC rescue , even going as far as a designated MC medvac .
For people not quite sure , it lineage comes from the B-29 Superfortress / B-50 .

This one im not a lover at first site, it really is ugly and looks like a flying boat with gear down ,the shape in the under carriage looks like it was suppose to float to me ,really i havent got much else to say about it ..
thanks for the heads up though it really is good to see more and more coming out for FSX just dont really know the market this one was aiming for ? over 80s LOL just being a smartass
come to think of it and quickly looking at it again it looks like the guys that designed it were at a trailer park in the 50s ,can you see that shape like a caravan ??
Mike 180 , no your right 80 .....what Century is this

They also have a Large NZ history Connection with the USAF C-97 transports in the 60s for 'Operation Deep Freeze' and of all things ! Pam Am flew the first civil flight from Christchurch Oct 1957 ! and as you said , nothing automated here , every flightlevel required very dynamic adjustment to the engine settings .
