Imissbritishleyland.Absolutley!Everywhere on YT are coarse,abusive,opinionated and biassed remarks to be found.I suggest that all the foul-mouthed swine who post such comments go to one site and one site only where they can abuse one another to their hearts' content.Let us enjoy these films without insults,please.
That is bullshit! This plane, despite its thick wing could NOT go to 58,000 feet! 45,000 is typically the top altitude for this airplane. No crewman has ever posted on Youtube about going above about FL410. At that altitude, the R4360's would need nearly 12 pounds of boost just to produce power equal to sea level; That simply didn't happen and as such this plane didn't have that sort of power!
I also remember the B-36 You couldnt see them, but you sure could hear them!!! My favorite heavy bomber, followed by the B-17, and B-29 My favorite Fighter was the P-51 D Mustang, Powered by Rolls Royce Merlin
I love seeing all of the pictures of that beautiful bird I piloted for thousands of hours some 60 years ago. It was truly a great transtitional aircraft that served its country well during those early "cat and mouse" years of the cold war. Conceived after Pearl Harbour with a RFP signed by FDR to fly 10,000 miles with a 10,000# bomb load without refueling--of course, in its 10 engine configuration it was capable of much more.
Is anyone else tired of looking at archive footage of aircraft, only to find the comments full of bigoted, nationalist, unintelligent comments/arguments? I am.
They've been playing a great program on cable (NatGeo?) about the first US "broken arrow" incident, which involved a B-36 crashing in Canada. The aircraft supposedly had a Mark IV nuclear weapon which may or may not have included its plutonium core. Anyway, there are some great clips of this awesome aircraft in that show.
@LesbianVampireLover I've seen it and there are some great cockpit interiors shot inside the J model at the Air Force Museum. Late model Peacemakers were called "featherweights" because the retractable gun turrets were deleted to save weight.
yeah, lets call a colt 45 a happy stick. and anthrax love dust. nothing peaceful about incinerating 1.2 million people with one plane. this plane is way to big for its payload.
@cobrachoppergirl: Its (maximum) 86,000lb internal paylload is unrivalled to this day for a US bomber...more than a B-52, B-1, or a B-2. (Only the B-1 can carry more, when utilizing external hardpoints).
Peacemaker was the perfect name for this aircraft. It helped keep peace between the US and USSR during the Cold War and it's success is that never saw combat. Indeed, it was the Peacemaker.
The B-36 is the coolest ,Biggest Bad Ass that kept the USSR in check in 1949 .1957 IKE had a big stick for the USSR the B-36 TEXACO made the GAS and TEXAS made the aircraft. . Don't mess with TEXAS!
@kjsh987 I've read the B-52 is the best bomber ever built...don't forget the B-17, B-24 and Lancaster, all of them war heros! Greetings from Argentina...
asshole what is combat record of arado? 0 yoou fucking jerk off I forgot we could have used B47 by 1947-48, B36 is better then any kraut aircraft that ever flew in fact you still cannot build bigger plane then this you sorry MF,s
robin the asshole just about every aviation record is owned by americans starting with Wright Brothers, Biggest aircraft ever built ,american fastest, american, highest flying, american
Who told you that? Fox news or your local tele-evangelist preacher?

The Amish people and other sects, including trailer trash that screw their siblings are the epitome of inbred.
@SteveSpicerPortsmuth village idiot I been to more countries then you have brain cells, just came back today from UK and Italy was in Plymouth 12 days ago, yeovil, cheltenham, london, Rome, Lake Como, by the way Im agnostic, bet you are scrounger living in council housing in birmingham with pakis as neighbors
@robinhood48 The B-36 had some flaws but it kept the peace during the korean war & after.(I flew as an engineer on them) This was our biggest bluff, and we won! The Jackpot was the eventual breakup of the Soviet system, and peace. What did the Arado do?
Couldn't this plane - or even the B-60 - have been used as land based long range antisubmarine patrol aircraft after phased out as strategic bomber? I was thinking about this because with its 10.000 miles the B-36 had a very long range, and could have done trips starting from Texas,following the coast line until Maine and coming back without REVO, right ?
If ww2 lasted 2 more years we could have had B36,s taking off from the U.S. fly across the atlantic and smash german industry and cities to oblivion each bomber carried 20 tons of bombs the worlds greatest prop aircraft ever built amd largest production aircraft
I remember these planes passing overhead at very high altitudes when I was a child. They made a deep bass sound that would rattle the dishes in the cabinets.
The engines pushed the concept of turbosupercharging further than ever before. It is still a fair question how a propeller could to do its work, given how thin the air is 50,000 feet.
@osgood54 You asked how a 36 could fly over 50,000 feet. The Magneto lines were encased in pressurized covers to prevent electrical sparking & shorts. I was a flight engineer on them.
Heck, I want to see the camera.

I was stationed at Biggs AFB in El Paso Texas.. we had the LAST B36 and it
had a flyover as it was put to rest, I think in 1957 or 58. We also had the oldest
B52, .. Thanks for your video.

@mhpfiddler -- Too bad they didn't go ahead with this project when my dad first saw it on the Convair drawing board in 1941.
This thing could drop the weight of two B-17's out of it's bomb bay.
And it could fly a mile higher than the German Me109.
Didn't it also have an early "stealth" anti-radar device where it could spread aluminum foil pieces out in the air, too?

@nesokretep Aluminum foil strips were employed by the British to confuse German radar. It was called "Window" and was not "stealth" technology.
