When I was heavily into photography in high school I dabbled in just about any esoteric type of film I could find. Kodak Infra-Red BW was fun stuff, but difficult to handle. IR film also exhausted developers, so you had to process it yourself. The most fun I had was with Infrared Ektachrome,

That was an experimental system that was only installed once, I think. I'd imagine that it was almost impossible to keep the track on the gear at take-off speeds! The eventual replacement was the first four-wheel bogey that was then used until they retired the B-36. If you have not been

I went to the Air Force Museum 3-4 times a year from the early 60s until 1969. The majority of the static displays at that time were on a large gravel pad next to a big hangar where the indoor displays were. About the only thing I recall about the indoor displays was the B-29 fuselage that you

Chance-Vought was fairly conservative with the wing loading, and Boeing was not. Much more lift per square foot, thus less structure. The B-60 (I think that was the designation for the all-jet B-36 derivative) was a real dog. Way too big, wing way too fat, and so forth since it was not

It's actually fairly easy to miss the B-36 in the hanger -- it's so big you cannot get far enough away from it to actually see it. IIRC, the wings are something like 20 feet above the ground and a tall guy can walk easily under the bomb bay with the doors open, so it's lost in the

The really scary thing is the Tupolev Bear -- similar size to the B-52 but almost as fast, flies higher, and carries more bomb load twice as far. On big hairy counter-rotating turboprops, something that no one in the west ever got to work very well. Probably vibrates almost as bad as a
