B-47E Stratojet
Kansas Aviation Museum
Wichita, KS


B-47

B-47E Stratojet bomber on display at the Oklahoma City Fair Grounds in the late 1980's. The Stratojet is displayed with a B-52, B-47 (with a WWII service record from the Battle of the Bulge), and the prototype Aero Commander. The fairgrounds needed the space for expansion in 2008, so these aircraft were moved in 2007. The B-47 went north to Wichita to the Kansas Aviation Museum. The B-52 went to Air Force Plant #42 in Palmdale, CA, to be part of a new airpark centered around the Blackbird display. The other two aircraft went to a local technical school.

Update—as of December of 2007, the B-47 had been fully moved to the Kansas Aviation Museum, but it is still disassembled. The fuselage is mostly intact, but the wings and tail need to be reattached, and the landing gear needs extensive work.

Update— as of April of 2010, the B-47 is reassembled and sitting on her main landing gear. The Stratojet is planned to be painted soon.
