Jim Addington N444BD For those of you old enough to remember Jimmy Stewart in "Strategic Air Command" in the 1950's, here is a clip from that movie. Like many of the other films of that period, Stewart played a major league baseball player in the Post WWII period who is called back to active duty service to join SAC. Anyway, whoever sent out this clip found some good pictures =0 A of the interiors and exterior of the B-36. Remember, "Six Turnin' and Four Burnin"".....the six props and the four jets that were hung out on the wing to help the production models get off the ground. The B-36 was designed during WWII when the US thought that England would be lost and we would be fighting the Germans from the US and Canada. It was designed to take the War to European cities from this side of the Atlantic. Last of the piston-engined bombers.a behemoth Worth it for the sound - six piston and four jet engines You will also see Jimmy Stewart on the jump seat..... Look at all those instruments and engine contr ols at the Flight Engineer station. Also note that the Co-Pilot controls the Jet engines while the Flight Engineer controls the pistons http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2008-4-18-B-36-SAC-Video.wm v ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:36:39 AM PST US From: Bruce Campbell Subject: RE: Commander-List: It's a pity that movie isn't available on DVD, or even better, Blueray. Som e of the best flying footage ever shot. Most folks don't remember the B-36 (I do because it was actually used as a borate bomber for a short time, al ong with the B-29 which lasted considerably longer). The story is only so- so though it would be nice if folks remembered what things we like in the e arly 50s ( like the honour of getting to be a "retread".) and what kind of debt we owe to the people who served during that time (and later, while we are at it).

How many of you recognized Col. Sherman Potter's voice (MASH 4077) in the background. Only after a second look did I recognize him; he sat right of Jimmy in the opening scenes. I was wondering whether setting max power on the jets so early was because they didn't have faith in them yet at the time or what. Perhaps today that would be the last thing they did.
