Behind that. Looks like a B-47 to me too. My dad was one of the designers of the B-47, the B-52 and the XB-70. I think he would be both surprised and pleased that the B-52 is still in use.

Really? My Dad was a SAC B-47 navigator from 1958-64. He liked to refer to the B-52 as "the box the B-47 came in." :)

As I'm sure you know, the B-47 was a huge technological leap over anything that existed before.

That said, I was, and still am, intrigued by the model he had of a flying saucer, complete with Air Force insignia and air frame number. Seriously. I wish I had paid more attention, but as a girl I was far more interested in what he would bring me from his trips to Alamogordo and London. SMH
