Boeing B-47 Stratojets
Dayton, Ohio / Tucson, Arizona



Probably the most graceful of Boeings' jet designs.
The tiny out-rigger wheel is shown here to good advantage.

Boeing B-47 Stratojets - Fairborn, Ohio - July 1970 / Tucson, Arizona - July 2007. As a matter of fact, when the black & white images were made, the B-47 had already been out of squadron service for five years. I've got some slides of these birds actually flying around at Armed Forces Day airshows at Wright Patterson AFB. I've always thought they were very graceful aircraft.
