KB-50J Detail_DSF0552_SCY in explore

            Boeing KB-50J, Pima Air & Space Museum. My supervisor at Garrett back in the eighties was a Flight Engineer and top turret crewman on B-17's and B-24's during WWII. After the war he was a flight engineer with SAC on B-50's. He had some great stories. One thing he mentioned that I always remembered was how slow the props seemed be turning on the B-50 when they had the engines set for the longest range on flights across the Atlantic. There is a photo you see here and there of a B-50 with the name "Thunderbird" on the nose doing a low pass at an airshow in England. He painted the nose art on that B-50.

The photo mentioned above is on the Wikipedia B-50 page and is captioned "Boeing B-50D of 43d Bombardment Wing 15th Air Force while on detachment to England in May 1953".
