God!! Does that bring back memories. Our refueling was a bit more difficult though: No jets on "F" and "G" models so we needed a slight descent to provide speed for B-47, usually whenever we were transferring 50,000 lbs. or more. 

Not sure but I think the jets were added about 1964 or 1965.

 

Btw....The KC also has the SAC blue band. It is aft of the wings.

Fantastic scene that brings back more memories.  Once when I was walking home from high school (1962 or so) I looked up and saw this scene from the ground just as the B-47 broke off from fueling.  Stunning pics and unforgettable memory.  Thanks much
