51-13730 RB-36H USAF SAC
Convair RB-36H-30-CF Peacemaker - When this photo was taken at the National Air Show in Philadelphia in Septermber, 1955, I was in flight training at Keesler AFB, MS to become an ECM Operator in SAC...on the RB-36H! It's possible that I later flew on this very aircraft as it was once in our squadron at Ellsworth AFB, SD. In 1957 it was put on display at Chanute AFB, IL and in 1991 was transported in pieces by rail to the Castle Air Museum, CA. Once restored it was painted in the colors of a sister squadron from Ellsworth and placed on display there, where it remains today. Of the 4 surviving B-36s, this is the only RB model.
