re: #20 dell*nix
This photo was taken at Reese AFB at Lubbock, Texas about 1950. This was taken about the same year my step-father met my mother in Lubbock. Note the B-29 in the back ground. Some folks are so unaware of local military history.
Not sure, but I think that might be a KB-50 tanker. Reese went to the Air Force Training Command in 1949 and any Heavies would be transient or associated with pilot training.
