Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Eine Boeing C-97G Stratofreighter des USAF - Strategic Air Command (SAC, 1946-1992) in "Fursty" (Flugplatz Fürstenfeldbruck d. Bundesluftwaffe) im Jahr 1966. Die Stratofreighter wurde zw. 1951 und 1978 auch in großer Zahl als Tankflugzeug "KC-97" eingesetzt, u.a. war in Europa im Jahr 1956 die KC-97G (s/n 52-2643) der 509th Air Refueliing Sqadron in RAF Greenham Common in England stationiert.

Auf dem Foto sind ausserdem im Hintergrund, links, zwei Douglas C-47 (DC-3) der Bundesluftwaffe zu erkennen, sie gehören sehr wahrscheinlich zur FVSt 61 (Vermessungsstaffel des Fernmelde-, Lehr und Versuchsregiments 61), welches 1958 in Lechfeld mit Douglas C-47 (Kennzeichen XA-101 bis XA-110), Hunting Pembroke u. Dornier Do 27 aufgestellt wurde. Ab 1973 operierte die Vermessungsstaffel mit C-47 und Pembroke vom Standort Flugplatz Neubiberg b. München aus, ihr weiterer Werdegang ist (noch) nicht bekannt.

English: A Boeing C-97G Stratofreighter of the USAF - Strategic Air Command (SAC, 1946-1992) at ‘Fursty’ (Fürstenfeldbruck airfield of the German Air Force) in 1966. Between 1951 and 1978, the Stratofreighter was also used in large numbers as a ‘KC-97’ tanker aircraft, including the KC-97G (s/n 52-2643) of the 509th Air Refuelling Sqadron stationed at RAF Greenham Common in England in 1956.

The photo also shows two Douglas C-47s (DC-3) of the German Air Force in the background on the left. They most probably belong to the FVSt 61 (Survey Squadron of the 61st Telecommunications, Training and Experimental Regiment), which was set up in Lechfeld in 1958 with Douglas C-47s (registration numbers XA-101 to XA-110), Hunting Pembroke and Dornier Do 27s. From 1973, the survey squadron operated with C-47 and Pembroke from Neubiberg airfield near Munich; its further development is not (yet) known.
