49-0389 was the last KB-50J to fly when it was ferried to the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB on February 17, 1965. Thirty years later, in late 1995, it was disassembled and moved to MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida, where it was displayed with the false identity "0-80114" (48-0114). It is seen here being disassembled for shipment in February 2018 to the AMC Museum at Dover AFB, where it will be restored and put on display.

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
