The US flag on the vertical stabilizer is not displayed correctly by today's standards. The blue rectangle should be on the right. I can't believe that a museum restoration would not display the flag correctly.
Is that the way the flags were displayed when that aircraft was in service?
@garyford99 i think so, most militaries that displayed flags on their aircraft tails had conpos (mirror image) flags, so which side one was facing didn't madder (The UK started this trend), when other countries followed, errors like this showed up. with an error like this i think they did it on purpose during restoration to make the aircraft authentic.
this looks like a C-97, KC-97 stand for refuel-er, I don't see the crew bubble and nozzle.
