Atwater CA Castle Air Museum KC-97L (#0006)

Atwater CA Castle Air Museum KC-97L (#0006)
Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighter, used in aerial refueling (see Wikipedia link). Apparently a generally poor compromise, the AF started using them in 1950 and retiring them in 1956, the problem being that they were too slow for air-to-air refueling of the long-range jet bombers that were developed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-97_Stratofreighter

I saw one of these once decaying in the parking lot of a closed hotel someplace deep in the Wisconsin woods. Had no idea what it was or how it had gotten there.
