National Museum Of The USAF Dayton, OH
WB-50D on display at the US Air Force Museum, located on the grounds
of historic Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This
WB-50D started life as a strategic bomber. It was later converted
to be a weather recon bird, hence the WB designation. It was used
to observe many of the hydrogen bomb tests. This was the last WB-50D
to retire in 1967, and it was delivered to the USAF Museum the following
year. This aircraft sat outside for many years. It has recently been
moved indoors and put on display in the Cold War Gallery.
