I found some vacation photos from my grandparents. Not sure where they were taken, but side FoxPhoto watermark tag  says both in August of ‘71 & ‘72. Enjoy.

B-47 and B-36. I thought the back one was maybe a B-50, but if you look closely you can see the pusher engine. Plus the tail is too big for a B-50.

The first picture was likely taken at Grissom Air Reserve Base north of Indianapolis.

I think the top shot is from the USAF Museum. That B-47E, 53-6244 , was the last one built,and was flown to Wright-Patt in ‘65. The Museum didn’t really need it though, and it wound up being used by the base fire department until there wasn’t much left.
