Tinker AFB Heritage Park
|
This RB-47E (53-4257) was at the
Confederate Air Force Museum in Harlingen, Tx. and is now at Tinker AFB in
Oklahoma City. When the CAF moved out of Harlingen (for Midland), the AF
Museum took most of the outdoor display airplanes and redistributed them.
Some were scrapped as all of them had a lot of corrosion. Tinker is a very
nice "airpark" on the north side of the base with quite a few
airplanes. This RB-47E has been painted gray. Even though it is not an
accurate finish, it does protect it somewhat from the elements. It is the
only preserved RB-47E left. It originally came to Harlingen from
Wright-Pat AFB where it had been a test-bed aircraft.
