When my father, "Courtney, Arthur Jr" retired he was a Technical Sergeant, with the 3507th USAF Recruiting Group. He served in the USAF from 1947 to 1968. He was killed in an auto accident in 1971. During his USAF career he served on a RB-50F, S/N 47-121, nose art name "The Cock'N Bull" assigned to the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. He was a SGT at the time. I have a photo of the crew with their RB-50F I believe was taken at Ramey Air Force Base, Puerto Rico, during the "B50 Aircrew Familiarization Course #53-1024-B50" I will upload. I have been attempting to determine if any part of this aircraft still exist. It was sent to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center, Davis-Monthan AFB AZ in Jan 1966 and Dropped from inventory as surplus on Oct. 1967.
