Yes, I was an eighteen yr old USAF firefighter stationed at McConnell. If I recall correctly the pilot and co-pilot were killed.

The Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker was used first in 1950 and onward until replaced by the KC-135. Although the KC-97 gave good service to the USAF for several years, its piston engines made it slow in comparison to the new generation of jet-powered aircraft it had to refuel, and the midair refueling operation was often difficult.
No nuclear ordnance was ever used against Spain. You're probably thinking of the Broken Arrow incident in January 1966 over the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain. A US B52G bomber collided with the KC135 tanker it was refueling from, causing extensive damage to the aircraft and the loss of four B28RI hydrogen bombs. Three landed on land, and it caused the non-nuclear explosives to detonate, which contaminated about a 3/4 square mile area with plutonium near the village of Palomares. The fourth went into the sea, and was recovered a couple months later.
