Even though the preparations were made for B-52 operations there it did
not happen.


So, then, the runway was lengthened to better accommodate the B-52
and KC-135 that were scheduled to replace the B-47 and KC-97 at Schilling.
I believe I said just that in an earlier post.

Yes, the preparations were made (about $160 million) but when the base
closed it was still a B-47 unit. I suspect it was also still KC-97s but
just don't remember.
