Today I was on a road trip and unsuccessfully trying to take pictures of aircraft taking off from Hilton Head Airport when I saw this beauty on the side of the road. Pretty interesting!
This aircraft was registered TB-47B, also intermittently as NTB-47B and JTB-47B
Here are my failed shots btw:
First is a Southwest Boeing 737-700 registered N7861J, and the second is an Airbus A320 registered N723UA.
Great catch! Do you know its history?
No, do you? If so feel free to tell me ;)
I don’t know anything about it myself, but I did find this this Wikipedia article about the B-47, where it mentions the TB-47B as a variant-most original B-47Bs were converted into TBs to serve as trainers.
Interesting! I may have gotten that wrong then! I’ll do more research about this specific aircraft and get back to you
