Completing this aerial demonstration, they headed for Fort Worth, landing 31 hours after launch from Japan and covering 7,086 miles. </p><p>On 12 September, the group deployed 30 B-29s to Giebelstadt Army Airfield, near <a href="/wiki/W%C3%BCrzburg" title="Würzburg">Würzburg</a>, <a href="/wiki/West_Germany" title="West Germany">West Germany</a>. This flight was the largest bomber formation flown from Fort Worth AAF overseas to date, landing in Germany on 13 September.

The flight redeployed from Germany on 23 September. </p><p>On 17 November 1947, the <b>7th Bombardment Wing</b> was established to organize and train a force capable of immediate and sustained long range offensive warfare and operations in any part of the world. The 7th Bombardment Group became its operational component. The wing's mission was to prepare for global strategic bombardment in the event of hostilities. Under various designations, the 7th Bomb Wing flew a wide variety of aircraft at the base until its inactivation in 1993. </p><p>In June 1948 the first <a href="/wiki/Convair_B-36" class="mw-redirect" title="Convair B-36">Consolidated B-36A Peacekeeper</a> was delivered. The first B-36 was designated the "City of Fort Worth" (AF Serial No. 44-92015), and was assigned to the 492d Bomb Squadron. With the arrival of the B-36s, the wing was redesignated as the <b>7th Bombardment Wing, Heavy</b> on 1 August. B-36s continued to arrive throughout 1948, with the last B-29 being transferred on 6 December to the <a href="/wiki/97th_Air_Mobility_Wing" title="97th Air Mobility Wing">97th Bomb Group</a> at <a href="/wiki/Biggs_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Biggs AFB">Biggs AFB</a>.

The 11th Bomb Group was equipped with B-36As for training purposes. A five ship B-36 formation was flown on 15 January 1949, in an air review over Washington, D.C., commemorating the inauguration of the President of the United States, <a href="/wiki/Harry_S._Truman" title="Harry S.

She returned to Carswell after mid-air refueling, flying 23,108 miles, and remaining aloft for ninety-four hours and one minute. </p><p>In January 1951, the 7th took part in a special training mission to the United Kingdom. The purpose of the mission was to evaluate the B-36D under simulated war plan conditions. Also, further evaluate the equivalent airspeed and compression tactics for heavy bombardment aircraft. The aircraft, staging through <a href="/wiki/Limestone_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Limestone AFB">Limestone AFB</a>, Maine, would land at <a href="/wiki/RAF_Lakenheath" title="RAF Lakenheath">RAF Lakenheath</a>, United Kingdom, following a night radar bombing attack on <a href="/wiki/Helgoland" class="mw-redirect" title="Helgoland">Helgoland</a>, West Germany.
