Photo Comment

The Pacific Northwest Aviation Historical Foundation established the "Museum of Flight" name in 1968 at a small 10,000 square foot rented facility, rented at the Seattle Center. The museum acquired this B-47 in 1969 after it flew the last Stratojet mission and was flown to Boeing Field. Stored until the present museum location was opened in 1987, the aircraft was displayed at the entrance for a while until stored again and later restored. It now rests in the Museum's covered open air Aviation Pavilion.
