Many years ago while "Enola Gay" was still dismantled and in store at the Silver Hill facility, I once had the eerie experience of being able to go on board and sit in the bombadier's seat. Of course this is the Superfortress which dropped the world's first atomic bomb used in warfare on Hiroshima on 6.8.45

Hayes Aircraft Corp. converted 136 surplus B-50Ds to KB-50 tankers, deliveries of the improved jet-assisted KB-50J version beginning in 1958. Replaced by KC-135s in the mid-60s, a few were still available in 1965 for use in SE Asia for emergency refuelling of fighters over hostile territory. Framed by WB-50D 0-90310, this one was soon after painted with fake serial 0-80114 and was moved to the Air Park at McDill AFB, FL in 1996

Operational with the US Air Force between March 1945 and March 1956, Doc was placed at the China Lake Weapons Range as a target from 1956.

Look at the firepower in the front dorsal turret of the B-29 - this Superfortress allegedly shot down two Japanese aircraft and saw combat in the Korean War as well as WWII. She later served as a WB-29 weather aircraft.
