This photograph showcases Boeing C-97 Stratocruiser 22652 of the Tennessee Air National Guard, parked at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu on June 14, 1967. The Stratocruiser, a four-engine propeller-driven military transport aircraft, was a modified version of the famous Boeing 377 Stratocruiser airliner. The Tennessee Air National Guard was one of several units to operate the C-97 in various roles, including military transport and aerial refueling. In this image, the aircraft wears the distinctive markings of the Tennessee Air National Guard, with the state flag proudly displayed on the fuselage. The Stratocruiser was a workhorse of the military during the Cold War era, providing essential transport capabilities for troops, supplies, and even presidential transport. Its versatility and reliability made it an invaluable asset to the military, and it saw action in various conflicts, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Stratocruiser was still a common sight at military bases around the world. The image evokes a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting us back to an era when propeller-driven aircraft were the backbone of military aviation. The Boeing C-97 Stratocruiser 22652 of the Tennessee Air National Guard at Honolulu on June 14, 1967, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic aircraft. Its presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of the vital role that military transport aircraft play in ensuring the safety and security of nations around the world.
