Used as a JB-47E fly-by-wire test aircraft. To the Museum in 1969. Moved to Kirtland AFB, NM in 2013.

Recently restored, this B-47E is on permanent loan from the USAF Museum in Dayton and is now part of the collections of the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque. In its operational life, this particular aircraft served as a testbed for various projects, most notably the development of fly-by-wire systems. This angle shows the interesting configuration of the B-47's six engines.

Used as a test bed at Wright-Patterson AFB under the designation JB-47E in the 1960s, this was the first USAF aircraft with a fly-by-wire control system. Added to the Museum in 1969 and displayed until 2003, latterly inside, when replaced by RB-47H 53-4299. Now stored outside the Museum's Restoration Hangar
