The B-29s were replaced by B-50s in the
early 1950s. 48-095 (left) carries the "Flaming Spear" emblem,
but the Triangle "O" has been removed from the tail. Most of the
97th's B-50s carried the name of a city on the nose. The name on
095 can not be made out, but it could possibly be "Moline". The
photo appears to be at an open house. (NMUSAF)
48-101 also is on display at an open house. (NMUSAF)

One very frustrating
thing in looking at photos is a partial shot of an airplane. The
RB-50G (47-157) parked bahind the 97th PMS shack ic a case in
point. The airplane has a black belly and tail, but the question
I have is: "Is the 97th BW patch carried on the nose? Does
it have the standard lettering on the fuselage and wings?" (USAF)
