The KC-97 Stratotanker was an aerial refueling tanker variant from the C-97 Stratofreighter (that was itself in line with the B-29 Superfortress), greatly modified with the necessary tanks, plumbing, and "flying boom." The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right-side door. In addition, transferrable jet fuel was found in tanks on the lower deck. Both decks were heated and pressurized for thin air operations.

Boeing 767 400
The Boeing 767 is actually a mid-size wide-body twin-engine airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Boeing 767 variations have a variety of five,200 to 6,590 nautical miles (nine,400 to twelve,200 km), and can carry in between 181 and 375 passengers, depending on seating arrangement. The very first wide-body twinjet created by Boeing, the 767 was conceived and intended in tandem together with the narrow-body Boeing 757 twinjet. The airliners reveal layout capabilities and flight decks, enabling pilots to obtain a frequent form rating to function the two aircraft.
