brakedwell, no, those are underwing tanks. The only KC-97 to feature hose-and-drogue refuelling was, as far as I'm aware, the single KC-97H which featured a centreline hose, not wing pods.
The KC-97H had a pair of podded J47s, one under each wing. MTOW take-offs must have been quite spectacular!
KenV, good to read that the KC-46A has finally managed to fly. Let's see how the testing goes now.....
