C-97G FLINT STONE was assigned to the 7405.SS at Wiesbaden. When 52-2687 (also see previous picture) was photographed at Tempelhof in April 1965, it was back from a deployment to Dakar, under operation RUNNING BEAR in Zaire.

The Big Safari program name mentioned corresponds to the period when the aircraft was photographed. The aircraft modifications and the Big Safari program in which this particular aircraft was involved were not necessarily the same before or after.
