The airplane above is one of only about 15 surviving B-47's from the the Cold War Era. While there are still lots of B-52's in the boneyard in Tucson, the only B-47's are in museums and many are in very bad shape. Hill Air Force Base Aerospace Museum recently acquired one.
I grew up at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where there must have been nearly a hundred of these planes.
