KB-50

Once upon a time, in the sky so high, There flew a plane, reaching for the sky. The Boeing B-50, strong and grand, A strategic bomber, soaring over the land. A revision it was, of the B-29, With powerful engines, oh so fine. Pratt & Whitney R-4360, they were called, Making the B-50, mighty and bold. Its structure was stronger, its tail fin tall, Improvements aplenty, for one and all. The last piston-engined bomber, by Boeing made, For the United States Air Force, it stayed. After its service with Strategic Air Command, The B-50 had a new role to understand. It became an aerial tanker, for all to see, Helping Tactical Air Command, so gracefully. But alas, the B-50's time came to an end, Metal fatigue and corrosion, they couldn't mend. Retired in '65, both tanker and weather plane, The B-50's legacy, forever will remain.
