I think she's beeeyooteefulll...  :-*

...I really do. Love that design.
Did you get to sit in that fantastic  flight deck?

This aircraft was just a fatten up B-29 with jet engines added to it!!

Ya gotta love the nose profile difference between that StratoCruiser and the Starlifter (pic No 4).....it's no wonder they weren't suited to refueling jet traffic..........

Turbojets & piston props...wicked combination.

I must add that the civilian version of this design was one of the most elegant airliners ever, with very long "legs". They had their problems, but by gosh, that was real airline travel!!  ;D
