B-47 Stratojet

I worked for Boeing in Wichita in the early 80s. There was a B-47 on a pylon displayed out west of town. I wonder if it is still there.

This is one graceful plane. You can actually see one at the US Air Force Armament Museum at Egland (FL). It's parked next to a B-52, and aesthetically there is no comparison.

I like this video. I was stationed at McConnel afb and worked on it 4 years while there. Then went to Plattsburgh afb and was a crew chief on the b47 until it was retired in nov. 65 at Platsburgh ny. It was a beautiful aircraft and was an aircraft the russians feared. We had great air crews and mechanics that keep it flying. Yes sir, general Curtis LeMay put a great force to gather called the stragic air command and i was proud to be a small part of it.
