One of my favorite moments ever was when we were doing a test flight of our restored C-97 (military version of the 377) at Reading airport in Pennsylvania.

A corporate jet checked in on Tower frequency and we heard “Roger Lear 123, cleared for the visual approach. Traffic is a Stratofreighter circling over the approach end of Runway 13.”

The way he enunciated “Stratofreighter” was priceless! 🙂
