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.
A Celebration of the family of Claude and Cynthia Richards!

Found ya! Cool. Now I'll have to add your link to our blog. We're looking forward to great things here!
Very cool. Peter said he wants to ride in it.
Peter wants to ride?! Heck, I want to ride! Unfortunately, none of the surviving B-47's are flyable. The one at Hill AFB is in such bad shape that the body is corroded away in places.
