A symphony!

Indeed!

Agreed...more for the sheer numbers wasted. I’ve seen pics like the one you refer to and of B-24s stacked, nose in dirt similar to this classic collection of P-40s...(all of which are such a magnificent waste):

Great, great video! Thanks for finding it.

Loved that airplane!

This is the inside of one (naval version):

He was also the first US president to submerge in a sub, the USS Plunger (SS2).

Great catch...a ballsy hero of a man.

Must have seemed an amazing relic at that point (despite being less than 30 years old).

The sound! That is what I miss...Had a B-24 fly over my apartment twice the other day and it was pure music compared to the boring jet and civil prop noise.

What an amazing aircraft, particularly the EC-121, which kept a host of pilots safe from Migs.

Pine on, please!

If you’re referring to the XB-30, the program...as you should know, was cancelled. (However, I’m sure the Connie would have made an exceptional long range bomber considering the longevity of the transport/AEW/etc. exemplified by this extant example...the original Lockheed has a magnificent manufacturing record).

The USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was the last Nimitz class boat to have a “bridle catcher” and had it removed during one of her refits.

No kidding!

Good eye....per Wiki article (which has very little info):

Will do!

Strange contraption, the Huskie. Saw one laying foam once back in the early ‘70s before they were retired.

Oh...and my apologies for the vomiting.

Very cool...thanks.
