Assigned to the 420th Air Refueling Squadron at Sculthope (EGUP). Retired to MASDC in 1964. (When I was sixteen I went on a school bus tour to Belgium and Germany. One of the high points for me was seeing one of these low on short final to Rhein-Main Air Base. Talk about aluminum overcast!)

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.

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
