Glorious photographs!! Is that a military version of the Stratocruiser at Floyd Bennett Field? I've always wanted to see a Stratocruiser in person.

You title the C-97 pic "Forever Grounded".... However, we flew it out of there in November. Methinks you need to retitle that.
Great photo though!

Wow Kevin, thank you so much for the update! It goes to show how long it has been since we went to Floyd Bennett!
That's incredible, I didn't think she was even airworthy, how silly of me. For anybody interested, in addition to Kevin's link, here is a short video of her taking off on the very old runway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXLeFtvggQ
