The KC-97G, because of its large airframe, made an excellent in-flight tanker. However, as a new series of jet fighters began emerging into service with much faster speeds, the KC-97G was no longer able to perform refueling procedures. Some maintenance officers at the 126th air refueling squadron proposed to fit the KC-97G with GE J-47 jet engines to add to their propulsion power, which proved to be an excellent recommendation. The US Air Force decided to refit all KC-97G in use with these jet engines and renamed them KC-97L.
