Glad you watched it. You really get a feel for both the B36 and B47. For me, being a child of the 1950s, it brings back fond memories.
Also bear in mind that the Casa's de-icing system sucks balls. It never works right, if it ever works at all. And furthermore, they seem to break down a lot. All the time. My wife is an AET for the Casa, and she flies in them every single day. There have been more than plenty of occasions that the planes have…

I don't own a gun and I refuse to buy one, and I do not advocate shooting.
Tyler, first question - does this thing have a smoothbore cannon for APFSDS rounds? And second, this is Rooshian. So WHERE IS MY DASHCAM VIDDY?
Tyler, I have seen many pictures of the B36, but never have I ever seen one of the tracked landing gear. Very fascinating article. This one must have taken some heavy duty sleuthing to find. As an aside, I highly recommend watching "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart. Great footage of the Peacemaker as it…
In case you are serious, put USS before Philippine Sea and google it.
