Hobby Master 1:200 AirLiner Series Boeing C-97BALAIR HB-ILW "International Red Cross" Hobby Master Stk. # HL4010 The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was the commercial version of the C-97 Stratofreighter. The two-level 377 was pressurized and could accommodate 50 to 100 passengers. On long flights the aircraft could accommodate 28 upper and lower bunk units. This led to the aircraft being referred to as the “Flying Hotel”. The 377 was larger and could fly further than the Constellation or the DC-6 but the engines and complexity of the aircraft proved to be too costly to operate bringing production to an end in 1950.HB-ILW began life as a Boeing KC-97G Stratofreighter 52-2734 c/n 16765 and was later converted to a C-97G and spent time with the 180 ATS/139 ATG, MO ANG. In 1969 the aircraft became the property of Balair Air Lines of Switzerland and was used for the International Red Cross by the Foundation for Airborne Relief in the Biafran Air Lift. Due to years of severe drought humanitarian aid was sent from around the world. In March 1970 the aircraft was arrived at MASDC to be stored and eventually scrapped.
