045 to TB-47B-17-BW. w/o 14 Aug 1958 Fire at McConnell AFB, KS
From here at WIX at the Forgotten Jets pages:
Boeing B-47B-15-BW Stratojet/50-045
Redesignated TB-47B.
1954: USAF 3520th CCTW.
USAF 4347th CCTW.
8/18/1958: Written off as Class 26 status.
I'm not sure about Baugher's source but again, the aircraft record card would answer some questions. There is little doubt to me, though, that based on the photo, 50-045 was at Norton in the early 1960s.
