Does anyone have a listing of B-47s stationed at Amarillo AFB and Forbes AFB in the late 1950s and early 1960s? Type, mission, serial numbers? Many thanks! Craig

As I remember it, the B-47s at Amarillo in 1955 were school ships for the jet mechanic school, I got to sit in the co-pilots seat when one was run up. One crashed just short of the runway on landing that year.

I do! but it would take too long to get all the details together.

Here's two...

52-0443 B-47E 40th Bomb Wing, Forbes AFB MAR-64.
52-0478 B-47E 40th Bomb Wing, Forbes AFB MAR-64.

Both left to the 98th Bomb Wing, Lincoln at the end of 1964.
