The B-50 was the last propeller driven bomber to be delivered to the USAF and although superficailly similar to the B-29 the large numer of modifications caused the redesignation. After being replaced by B-47s in front-line service many B-50s were stripped of defensive arnament and converted by the addition of Doppler & weather radar, atmospheric samplers and bomb-bay fuel tanks to weather recon aircraft. This was the last WB-50 to be retired in 1965 and arrived at the National Museum of the USAF in 1968.

This aircraft was manufactured too late to see action in WWII but is painted as 'Tallahassie Lassie', a P-47 flown by Seattle-born Colonel Ralph C. Jenkins who led the 510th FS through Europe after D-Day. She now belongs to the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field. Note the nose art is on the port side only.
