I think I've been flying her the last couple of MSFS's versions!
B-36 Peacemaker, SAC's first long range nuclear delivery airplane!
8-)Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 10:32 pmBeginning 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.

Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 9:31 amWonderful shots Greg. Makes me interested in TP again. And a great choice of aircraft, one of my all time favorite bombers.

Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 7:10 pmthe 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.
