This is the RB-36H that is now at Castle Air Museum as it appeared at Chanute AFB in 1979, for some reason painted as B-36B 44-92065. It's possible that I flew on this aircraft when it was with the 718th Bomb Squadron at Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, South Dakota. The circle W markings would be the 326th Bomb Squadron(H) 42nd Bomb Wing at Loring AFB, Maine., This photo was added on 16 November 2023, and has since been viewed 265 times. |
