The KC-97G variant was a dual in-flight refuelling tanker and transport and was powered by four Pratt and Whitney R-4360-59B radial piston engines providing a top speed of 603 kmh and a range of 6920 km. The KC-97G carried a flight crew of five and up to 96 troops or 69 litters in the cabin in addition to two external fuel tanks.
