On a cold, snowy February morning in 1949 at Moses Lake AFB Washington, test pilots Major Russ Schleeh and Major Joe Howell took off on a cross-country demonstration flight of the XB-47 for Congress. "The weather wasn't exactly favorable for a 1-hour pilot, a zero-hour copilot, and an experimental airplane...." Using the entire runway, the Stratojet just reached flying speed--Schleeh raised the gear and headed east! Except for a 20-minute period to conserve fuel, they kept the throttles at 100 percent until letdown. Schleeh's flight to Andrews AFB, Maryland, took just 3 hours and 46 minutes, and set an unofficial transcontinental speed record!
