## Surviving aircraft

| Serial | Geographic location | Institutional location | History |
| 46-66 | Southern California | Air Force Flight Test Museum | Built at Boeing Seattle as XB-47. The second XB-47 built, after 46-65. First flight 21 July 1948. Test flown at Edwards AFB. In 1954 46-65 was scrapped, making 46-66 the oldest B-47 in existence, and the only surviving XB-47. Previously displayed at the since-closed Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum at the former Chanute AFB, Illinois. Returned to Edwards AFB in 2016. Awaiting funds for restoration. |
| 50-0062 | Pooler, Georgia | Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum | Built at Boeing Wichita as B-47B. In 1954 redesignated as a TB-47B . Used in 1957 as JTB-47B, and immediately after re-converted to TB-47B. Designated as museum aircraft in 1961 (also redesignated as NTB-47B in 1961). Sent to since-closed Florence Air and Missile Museum in Florence, South Carolina in 1965. Sent to Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler, Georgia in 1998. |
| 51-2075 | Southern California | Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards AFB | Built as a B-47B. Redesignated EB-47B then JB-47B Jan 1956, TB-47B Feb 1956, and JTB-47B Mar 1956. Subsequently, updated and redesignated TB-47B again. Put on display at Air Force Flight Test Center Museum, Edwards, AFB, California. Later put out on bombing range at Edwards AFB to be used as a photographic target. |
| 51-2120 | Knob Noster, Missouri | Whiteman AFB | Built as a B-47B. Operated by SAC's 509 BW. |
| 51-2315 | Peru, Indiana | Grissom Air Museum | Built as a B-47B. Observed at Grissom 1996 wearing false serial 20271. However, 51-2315 was in a major accident prior to 1968. 52-0271 was indeed at Bunker Hill AFB (later Grissom AFB), and maybe this plane is actually the real 52-0271? The plane now bears the markings 12315 and a sign says that the plane broke its back on a hard landing at Bunker Hill AFB, which forced its retirement, so it may well be the real 51-2315. |
