This B-47 was stationed at Bunker Hill AFB (now Grissom AFB) when damage from an extremely hard landing caused it to be declared a write-off and retired. Fortunately, especially as it is a rarer B-version, the frame was not scrapped and is now on display at the super Grissom Air Museum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
