46th Reconnaissance Squadron, Alaska Air Command, Ladd AAF, AK. Redesignated 72nd Reconnaissance Squadron 13th Oct 1947

1947, She was involved in the search for the "B-29 Frozen In Time" AKA "Kee Bird" the second search flight took off at 2310 AT, 21 February 1947, in B-29 45-21761 ( Boeing's Boner ). As the Kee Bird's navigators were constantly making celestial observations in order to aid the search planes in locating them, the mission was much easier since more information was received as to the lost airplane's approximate position. In addition, more time was available in which to plan the mission, and a direct course was set to Greenland.
On reaching the area where Kee Bird had landed at 0745 AT, a search was started and with information from the lost crew. The first actual sighting was made at 0830 AT. Eight runs were made over the downed plane, dropping the supplies carried for that purpose. Kee Bird's crew requested that some coal be dropped to them in order that they could build a fire for warmth and cooking. The crew was instructed to destroy the radar, Loran, and the IFF sets, and to bring back, when they were evacuated, all exposed film, airplane files and all maps. 21761 then returned to Ladd and landed safely."
