1370th PMW Boeing RB-50F Superfortress 47-0162 by Wing attack Plan R Via Flickr: B-50B-60-BO. C.N. 15846. 1370th Photo Mapping Wing (assigned to MATS), based at Turner AFB. Modified as RB-50F with navigational radar. Withdrawn from service to MADC 29 July, 1965. Declared excess 30 October, 1967. Scrapped at MASDC. Fourteen RB-50Bs were modified at Boeing-Wichita with SHORAN navigation radar for special missions. These planes were redesignated RB-50F. The SHORAN radar navigation system was used to conduct mapping, charting, and geodetic surveys. However, it was found in practice that the SHORAN system interfered with the RB-50F's defensive armament, so the SHORAN radar and its associated equipment were housed in removable kits. Photo Credit's: Unknown to me (poor quality reprint). Photo marked 1964. Location: unknown.
