KC-97 "Firewall"

This Boeing Stratofreighter was originally delivered to the US Air Force as KC-97G, s/n 53-0317, c/n 17099.

 

The Pratt & Whitney R-4380 engine and its mount have been removed from the number four (or right wing, outer) position.

 

The upper section of the "firewall" includes a variety of connectors for all of the electric power, instrumentation and other wires and cables which had to be disconnected before engine removal.

 

Photographed at Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK), March 1997.
