I have examined all of these fine photos, and there most assuredly is no
C-97. I believe what you mean is C-46, but am not entirely sure, but I am
sure that there are no stock C-97's currently flying, although the Super
Guppy conversions may still be in use.
What interesting things remain in the air in strange places. I remember my
African trip, with quite a batch of aviation history.

Subject: [OM] Aircraft Photos
I've been keeping track of a superstorm in the Bering Sea, and while
looking through the Anchorage newspaper website I came across this gallery
of aircraft photos:

All sorts of neat stuff, like a C-97 (Salmon Ella), DC-6, L-300 (stretch
civilian C-130), Grumman seaplanes, and all sorts of other aircraft on
floats, skis, sunk in mud, etc.
