This KC-97G saw duty with the Ohio Air National Guard from 1963-1968 and was mothballed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona for nearly 40 years before it was purchased in 2017 by the Cleveland International Exposition Center (I-X Center). It was transported in sections on six semi-tractor-trailer trucks and then re-assembled behind the I-X Center. The plan was to open it as a 50-seat restaurant and lounge.
