Wonderful shots Greg. Makes me interested in TP again. And a great choice of aircraft, one of my all time favorite bombers.

BTW Chuck,

Beginning with the B-36D, Convair added a pair of General Electric J47-19 jet engines suspended near the end of each wing; these were also retrofitted to all extant B-36Bs. Thus the B-36 came to have 10 engines ("six turnin' and four burnin' ", as said by American airmen), more than any other mass-produced aircraft. The jet pods greatly improved takeoff performance and dash speed over the target. In normal cruising flight, the jet engines were shut down to conserve fuel. The two pods with four turbojets and the six piston engines combined gave the B-36 a total of 40,000 hp for short periods of time.

Thanks L.T. Hadn't heard the turnin' burnin' quote
in quite a long time. Definitely a love affair in the air! Might just to have read up on her again!

Wonderful set Greg...well done...

[jack_ryan]

the version of that quote I heard as a young P-3 flight engineer was about the the P-2v. it went "two turnin', two burnin', and two up front learnin'"

I hadn't thought about that in almost 25 years. wow I am old.
