In open storage for possible future firebomber conversion at the Greybull base of Hawkins & Powers Aviation. Still showing traces of its last period of military service, as O-30208 with the 197th ARS / 161st ARG of the Arizona Air National Guard. Delivered new to the USAF in 1953 as a KC-97G, 53-0208. Upgraded to KC-97L standard in 1964. Registered as N1386R with Dross Metals in 1981. Bought by H&P in March 1982 and re-registered N397HP in October 1982. Eventually broken up at Greybull in 2014.
