This beautiful mighty C-97G(377)Boeing STRAT is now owned & operated by the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation from Toms River NJ. She will become in her new life when complete a “Flying Museum Of COLD WAR History” See us at new site for more info & pics of our 2 historical classic proptransports at http://www.spiritoffreedom.org Help & support is needed in many ways to bring this fantastic proptransport back to the skies once again. HER new name is called “Angel Of Deliverance” ONLY 2 such survivers still exist in the WORLD today that are AIRWORTHY! The only other is the firetanker out in Greybull WYO.

RE: “Rebirth Of a “STRATOCRUISER”
The transatlantic of the skies…really impressive. A kind of a jumbo jet of the time with berths. Despite its populary among passengers it was like a flying coffin, since the propeller got off from the engine axil, cause a catastrophic failure.
