Good morning / afternoon, 
Are they the Lockheed F-94 Starfire, Martin XB-51 and North American XB-45 Tornado ??
Edit to say the Tornado wings and nacelle rear ends don't look quite right, but that's all I can think of!

I will confirm the aircraft types only when all three are identified in the same reply.
Only one aircraft entered squadron service.
Mild here for late January. OAT is plus 10C, wind 25027G48 kts. The wind will continue to blow for the whole day, and into the night. It is not from a passing storm. Not unusual for southern Alberta.

Definitely not the Tornado, I now think it's the Boeing Model 424 ? and stand by my other two, the Lockheed F-94 Starfire and Martin XB-51
Only the Starfire entered service!
Still quite Mild here at +8 C, light drizzle now, but predicting overnight snow!

'kinnelTC - wossa wing planform........?
This is what I found by digging into B-47's design evolution!
North American, Convair, and Boeing submitted proposals. The first Boeing proposal, the "Model 424", was submitted in January 1944. It was a jet implementation of a conventional straight-wing propeller-driven bomber design, basically a scaled-down version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, powered by four TG-180 turbojets fitted in a pod of two engines on each wing.

skytrain10 is correct.
As the carnival barkers used to say "Get three in a row, you win a Kewpie doll!" Well done. You have control.

Not the Highlander Bri. To help you along this design dates back to the 1960's and was offered both as a complete aircraft or kit build. Would appear to be still available today in kit form.
Closing down for the night now. Usual rules apply.

I'll second that 
Too many?...
This appeared in a Flypast magazine. Identify them and you could win a copy of Jane's 45/46. Unfortunately entries had to be in by September 1, 1995...
