B-47B Stratojet
Whiteman Air Force Base
Knob Noster, MO
B-47B Stratojet bomber on display at Whiteman Air Force Base in
Knob Noster, Missouri. Knob Noster is about 50 minutes east of Kansas
City on the border between the Ozarks to the south and prime farm
country to the north. Whiteman is home to the 509th Bomb Wing, who
is famous for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan during WWII. Today,
the 509th flies the B-2 Spirit, a radically different aircraft from
the B-47 Stratojet. The B-47 is located near the flightline just
south of the tower. There is no public access to the base, and there
is no line of sight from off-base to see the Stratojet. As a result,
getting base access to take this photo has been a decade long project.
