I finally, after years of scrounging the internet found some pics of our bird in service.
First is as KC-97L Wisconsin Air National Guard refuelling an RF-4C Phantom II over Zweibruchen Air Base, West Germany as part of "Operation Creek Party"
Second was taken by a fellow named Norm Filer on August 28, 1974 at Salt Lake City in Utah Air National Guard Markings.
Thanks to John Lameck for providing them to the Foundation.
