Six turning.
Four burning.

This retarded bullshit that never even saw combat is what we were given instead of the YB-49.

Should have had both.

It's by far the biggest missing item of all the flying/surviving warbirds.
Imagine seeing, hearing one of these at Oshkosh

At least there's one on static display in Ohio. The down side is that you have to enter Ohio to see it.

i've in my middle age volunteered for a bunch of shit and one of the perks is promoting the 'sons of the american legion' and this other homegrown org that shows up at parades and farmers markets (that i organize) to show off real militaria shit and i think bros im actually making a difference.

I spent close to 10 years with warbirds. Mostly with the C-47 but also with the B-25. Maintaining and flying around the states. Selling rides, doing fly-overs, airshows, etc. Lots of smiling faces, for sure, but I doubt it really made a difference for anyone but a extremely small percentage. When we sold rides, most of the passengers would take selfies in the first 3 min, then proceed to sit in their seat and post that shit online for the remaining 17 min.

i'd love to belive that small percentage spread it to another percentage and so on and so forth.

but i was really spoiled when i went to a buddys house and he had an m2 on the aviation hydrolics to show off to me. in california.

fuck this gay earth so hard bros i cant handle this faggotry anymore but i try reeee reeee against the dying of the light.

Thanks anon for posting these, high kino

Every time I hear somebody bitching about gas-hogs on the road, SAC comes to my mind. Nobody can possibly imagine how many gallons of fuel those assholes burned in the 50s and 60s.

>>65158639
Imagine the kino if one of their asshole Bear patrols skirting our arispace was met with this evil bitch.

No seed oils or corn syrup, and they wanted to be desired. Ergo the birth rates.

Imagine bringing some museum piece fighters out of storage too and have them all painted in highly visible "19XX-2026" livery when intercepting. Would be a great troll.

>>65159675
Imagine intercepting Bears over Alaska, but strictly using MiGs flown to the West by defectors.

DC-3 burned about 100 gal/hour. I think it was close to 600 gal/hour at takeoff with the fuel enrichment valve open. And those were only 1820 cu in displacement engines. You can imagine what the B-36's 4360 cu in displacement engine burns... x6.

>>65159352
They're more interested in telling others what they have done rather then genuinely experience it. Social media has been a plague on society.

>>65159261
No problem. I got lots more, but restricted in webm file size.

does this pre-date polymers/plastics, ceramics and silicones?
>>
>>65159719
Silicone, perhaps. But ceramic is used throughout the ignition system and radios. Bakelite/plastic can be found on various things as well. I'm not sure exactly when aircraft wiring switched to a polyvinyl material.

Come to the SAC museum in Ashland NE and you can walk up into the landing gear bays of it

There is an alternate history WW2 novel where the Nazis subjugate England early on and then LeMay uses the 36s to glass Germany

Replace the piston engines with turboprops and you might be onto something. Wing shape (straight instead of V) might a problem unless you want to scorch the sky.
>Also, replace the 4x M2s with Vulcans for every turret.

>>65159675
We could legitimately claim air show practice and logging flight time... public-private museum project. Just make something up, but for once show up with something WAY OLDER.

They just finished restoring an EC-135 but it's closed off unless you're a member now because some fucking nigger stole a radio from the B-29. Very upsetting.
