Gorgeous aircraft. EB-47s (electronic countermeasures versions) were at my first Air Force assignment at Lockbourne Air Force Base (now Rickenbacker) near Columbus, Ohio.
The 801st Air Division had 80 EB-47s there.
The EB-47 used a big drag chute to slow down after landing. One pilot proved the EB-47 would not take off with that landing chute deployed (it got activated accidentally during takeoff).
