Walt,
Those are KC-97s, and by the fact that I see a wing tank on at least
one, I'd go so far as to say they are KC-97Gs. They are the tanker
variant of the C-97 Stratofreighter, a postwar transport based on the
B-29 bomber. NYANG flew C-97s from the airport about 2 miles from where
I lived in the 60s. I rode one myself.

Chris,
I think the tanker was a KC135, but I'm not positive. I'm pretty sure
it was a KC130-something. Can you tell from this?

I had several hundred shots taken on joy rides with the USAF back in the
early to mid '60s, but 95 percent of everything I shot before August of
1967 was lost in a house fire. The half dozen shots of this type I have
left were at the tail end of a roll of other stuff that didn't get
incinerated.
