| This March, 1961 photo shows the museum's B-47 shortly after landing at what was then Bunker Hill AFB. Note the missing right outboard engine (#6). The engine exploded during an in-flight refueling, taking 15 feet of the wing with it. The wing was repaired, and the plane remained in service until an extra hard landing broke it's back. It was then turned over to the museum where it remains today. |
