Nice video! It was also neat to see the B-36's on the taxi ways.
Jason's going to need a bib. : D
Neat to see a B-36 squadron?! How about SUPER COOL!! And especially great to see the two at the same airfield. I had never seen either until I saw them both at the Pima Air Museum in Tuscon last year. Thanks for the great video.
I've been extremely busy with my day job (and dog tired) and then my step daughter just gave birth to twin boys so it's been a challenge to keep the posts coming here... that's why I didn't have the energy to mention that amazing sight of the two B-36's in the B-58 video. Such a wild contrast to see the Thundering Peacemaker's operating at the same time as the Hustler!
Neat to see all those B-36's, alright. But they were already on the way out. The scrapping of B-36's began in February 1956 and was complete by February 1959.
