I got a ride in one out of Fort Worth when I was in collage. It was a fun trip and it sure had a distinct sound.

It’s a pity that movie isn’t available on DVD, or even better, Blueray. Some 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, along 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 early 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).

Great footage. 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.

I think you are right because I think those were the same engines we had on the B-47 and it could trake up to 12 seconds to spool up from idle to 100 percent.

I think he was early on the throttles because it took that long to spool up.

And a G'day to you Russell, Those six R-4360's with the exhaust going back

through the props really made the ground vibrate. I hope it is warm down

there, it is cold here.

Hope you have a good week too.

Jim

Folks,  

A lovely discontinuity error, if you look closely.  

After the co-pilot DV window is closed, calling the pre takeoff checklist, it then cuts to an external just before the aircraft rolls, and this window is still open.  

Cheers,  

Bill Hamilton
