Dick Purdum, center, handing the B-47 Association check for all of the remaining association funds over to the SAC Museum to be used only for the renovation of their B-47 to the Museum President & CEO Mr. Jeffrey Cannon., left. Hambone, right, is the head of restoration.
Fabulous contribution to the excellent restoration effort!
Excellent use of the funds. Information, I just bought a beautiful model B47 tonight. It was still in the box, I feel lucky to have got it. Hardly anyone even knows about it,
Jinx, where did you get the model and what was the price? Is it a model that you put together or was it all in one piece? I was in both the 301st & 376th OMS from 1960 – 1964 & have been looking for a B-47 model for years.
Just do a Google search for B-47 models. I found a few kits and a lot of wood carvings.
looks like the outfit i was in 301 bomb wing say brad we were at lockbourne at the same time i do have a spare b-47 model we must have been know to each other
William, I seem to remember you and would like to make contact with you via e-mail if it is allowed to be put on this site but I’m going to try it.
beludwig@cox.net . Thanks to all who replied.
Thought if I won enough on Powerball, would restore one to flying status.
We were at Brize-Norton, and sorties to Wheelus, (when Ghadaffi was in grade school).
