The KC-97G made its public debut at the Summit Racing Equipment I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama on March 16-18, and was parked in an area devoted to military vehicles. The ultimate plan was to convert the Stratofreighter into a unique dining establishment at the I-X Center by 2020. Unfortunately, the I-X Center permanently closed in 2020, and the fate of this beautiful and historic aircraft is unknown.
