    "HORSE HOCKEY!"

  • i dont think the b-36 can go for an higher altitude because watch it at 3:45 the nose wheel go hig then come low then high again then the whole rear wheels go the first wheel slowly goes up then the rest then the whole plane will go higer every slowly it looks like the plane is a very hevy for a takeoff but now a days theses planes r used very rarely after the f-117

  • @2IDSGT And retired as a brigadier general in the AF Reserve.

  • When ever I look at the B 36 I always feel like I am looking at something that Gerry Anderson thought up when he was making the thunderbirds (international rescue)! I wonder was the pilot named Virgil was the flight engineer brains? What you say? FAB Scott!

  • What a monster! Bet you could pack some serious ordinance into this plane!

  • @jarrod989 WERE* learn grammar that exceeds the level of an 8th grader plz.

  • @leneanderthalien

    Thanks for filling me in.

  • @deezynar

    Piston, Pratt&Whitney 28cylinder R 4360-25, 3250HP each

  • Are those turboprop engines or piston?

  • @Bloodgod40 The jet engines of the time used too much fuel and produced to little power for the aircraft to use full time.

  • @Spoffo A B-36 is on display indoors at Strategic Air Command, Ashland Nebraska

  • @Bloodgod40 The jets were added on as an afterthought when they realised they needed more power for take-off. It was easier adding some jet nacelles than redesigning the entire wing to incorporate more main wing engines.
