| Description |
Boeing B-47B-30-BW "Stratojet" (s/n 51-2098) was relegated to ground instructional airframe by Jun 1962 when redesignated UB-47B. Aircraft Maintenance Career Ladders, (AFSC's 43131A, 43131C, 43131E, 43131F, 43151A, 43151C, 43151E, 43151F, 43171A, 43171C, 43171E, 43171F and 43191). After graduation I went from learning the Boeing B-47 "Stratojet" to working on the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress and the Boeing KC-135 "Stratotanker" at Larson AFB and Fairchild AFB. Due to the needs of the United States Air Force during the Korean War, Amarillo Air Force Base was reactivated in March 1951 and became the first all-jet mechanic training base in the Air Force. The 3320th Technical Training Wing was activated under the Air Training Command (ATC) to oversee training activities, and in December 1951 the first trainees from foreign countries arrived. By 1952, the program reached a planned maximum of 3,500 students. Mechanic training continued throughout 1953 and 1954 and included a course on the Boeing B-47 "Stratojet" medium bomber, although training was restricted as only three B-47's were available for aircraft mechanic training, forcing two or three classes to use the same aircraft at any one time. |
