Great to see her still flying. Those fans in Reading are a lucky bunch. Yep those 4360s could really smoke, especially if it had been a while after their last overhaul, and a while since their last startup.

Yep Tom
Israel used C-97s and modified B377s to refuel C-130s in midair for famous Entebee rescue mission.

Its good that the Environmental Protection Agency was not in operation when the C-97 was widely used.

Sounded just like they did when they flew over my home off SFO runway 28.

It is my understanding that the P&W R-4360 simply burned a lot of oil, even more so as the engines got closer to overhaul time, but even fresh R-4360's burned oil.
