Medium bombers. Gotta love 'em.

Not with shitty broken-down tankers you don't.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

What I meant by that is that the Cold War brought us some of the greatest movies and military equipment in modern times.

Ah, the B-36. The early version had pop up turrets with 20mm's in them. A chase plane pilot said it was really spooky watching them poke out an then train on him.

When they were flying the last of the B-36's to the boneyard, a pilot answered the question, "Could you barrel roll one?" Yes, but you will pop most of the rivets on it. Almost had a dissasymbley on landing.

For the folks in AZ, Pima Air museum down in Tucson has a B-36 they are currently restoring.
I can't wait to drive down and see that puppy.
