Douglas Aircraft operated an EB-47 for Navy EW training out of Tulsa in the early 70s. Very weird to see US Navy painted on the side of a B-47.
I think they had different/better engines because they didn't use an approach chute. But when that monstrous drag chute came out in the typical Oklahoma winds.....I'd guess that thing was a handful in a crosswind with that tandem landing gear. I don't know if they could rotate/angle the gear in a x-wind like a B-52.
Flew a few times in the Hun with one of the B-47 pilots who was also in the Tulsa Guard transitioning from C-124s to F-100s at the time. That was a handful also.
