From Wikipedia, can anyone comment on FSX scenery available...?


The first B-50As were delivered in June 1948 to the Strategic Air Command's 43d Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/43d_Bombardment_Wing), based at Davis-Monthan AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis-Monthan_AFB), Arizona (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona). The 2d Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2d_Bombardment_Wing) at Chatham AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chatham_AFB&action=edit&redlink=1), Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state)) also received B-50As; the 93d Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/93d_Bombardment_Wing) at Castle AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_AFB), California (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) and the 509th Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/509th_Bombardment_Wing) at Walker AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_AFB), New Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico) received B-50Ds in 1949. The fifth and last SAC wing to receive B-50Ds was the 97th Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/97th_Bombardment_Wing) at Biggs AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biggs_AFB&action=edit&redlink=1), Texas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas) in December 1950.
The mission of these wings was to be nuclear-capable and, in wartime, be able to deliver the atomic bomb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bomb) on enemy targets if ordered by the president.[15] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-50_Superfortress#cite_note-Ravenstein,_Charles_A_1977-16)
The 301st Bombardment Wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/301st_Bombardment_Wing) at MacDill AFB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacDill_AFB), Florida (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida) received some B-50As reassigned from Davis-Monthan in early 1951, but used them for non-operational training pending the delivery of B-47A Stratojets in June 1951.

There is Davis-Monthan AFB Afcad by Kyle Cormier and MacDill AFB by Art Poole comes to mind.
