Slide taken when Chanute AFB was still active. This is actually RB-36H 51-13730 painted as B-36 44-92065. This a/c was assigned to Chanute AFB in 1957 as a ground instructional airframe. It was put on permanent display there. It was transferred (with great difficulty!) to Castle Air Museum in California in 1990 where it still resides.
