| Ed Rodenbaugh , FL | I was stationed at McCoy AFB from late 1958 to 1960 where we had the B-47. What a great plane and if I remember right, the bulge under the nose is the radar. I was a weapons mechanic on the B-47 and we dealt with the tail guns, bomb racks and the weapons systems but if I remember right the radar guys would be working under the nose with the black cover folded down and the small radar dish there.....Yea I have passed that B-47 along I-95 in Georgia and often wondered if I worked on that particular plane, don't remember any tail numbers from way back then. One unique thing about the B-47 was the navigator set in the nose of the plane and his ejection seat would eject him down under the plane and the pilot and co-polit would eject up over the plane. 03/10/2008 @ 13:46 [ref: 19953] |
| Tim Brady Camp Hill Pa, PA | I have a question. isn't there a EB-47 sitting right along I 95 in Georgia? I think it is at a small museum for 8th air force or something. if I remember correctly it is arouns mile post 100 or so. I don't think it is a basic bomber as it has some type od fairing or bulge under the nose area.

| Christine Smith Goodyear, AZ | My father flew the B-47 in the late '50s, training at Bainbridge, GA. I understand there is a museum at Lakenheath, England, where he was based from time to time. Others he flew with were Dick Petitt, Phil Schroeder, Phil Springer. Would love to hear from anyone who knows any of these guys. 06/03/2007 @ 20:25 [ref: 16723] |
| Roger Snowden Omaha, NE | Another fine specimen is located at the Air and Space Museum (formerly SAC museum) near Asheville, Nebraska, between Omaha and Lincoln on I-80.
I took my dad to see it a few years ago. He had commanded a B-47 squadron back in the '50s, in Savannah, GA. He suffered from Alzheimer's and was fairly advanced when we went to the museum. When he saw the plane, he become lucid and started recalling it in detail. It was always his favourite plan to fly. He had learned to fly during WW2, as a "flying sergeant", having enlisted in Army as a cavalry soldier at Fort Bliss in 1939, then transferring to the AAC. He became on of the Hump Pilots and got his commission as a result. Right after the B-47, I wheeled his chair past a B-25 nearby, and he started jabbering about it as well. I said, "Dad, I didn't know they taught you to fly those too." "Oh, they didn't teach you, you just flew it", was his reply. It was pretty much his last lucid conversation. 05/09/2007 @ 16:09 [ref: 16449] |
| Jack Kovacs Fairborn, OH | Re: the B-47 that's supposed to be at Ellsworth. Apparently it was dismantled wrong and was too hard to re-assemble at Ellsworth, so it was stored in a hangar. In 1999 an RB-47H, originally belonging to the 55th SRW at Forbes, was the last "H" model in original form, was transported to the USAF Museum [Now called the National Museum of the USAF- http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil] near Dayton, Ohio. Restoration took about 3 years. The "H" was missing gages and other bits and pieces, so the Museum looked over the B-47s at Hartford, Ct, Tyndall {I think]Fl, and Ellsworth. The Ellsworth plane was not deteriorated at all since it had been protected inside, so the forward fuselage [to the back of the canopy] was shipped to the AF Museum for parts. I restored "H" model is now the "centerpiece" of the Cold War Annex of the Museum. The restoration of the exterior and interiors [including the Raven's work stations] is really great, although it's still missing some of the raven's flight instruments. The cockpit is like new. I can email photos privately if desired. I followed the restoration for 3 years, taking over 300 pictures in the process.

| Ken Lauter Dover,, NH | Just visited Ellsworth AFB for the first time today while on vacation. I expected to see the B-47 we shipped from Pease AFB, NH when the base closed in 1991 in their air park. I was stationed at Pease when we received the aircraft from Texas in 1979. We restored it and put it in our air park along with a KC-97, a B-29, and a B-52D. All the aircraft were moved to Whiteman,Mo except for the B-47. I have photos of loading it on the truck to ship to Ellsworth. Anyone know what happened to it? When I return home I'll find my photos with the S/N. 10/07/2006 @ 19:40 [ref: 14400] |
