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.

[b]For those of you old enough to remember Jimmy Stewart in[/b]
[b][b]"Strategic Air Command" in the 1950's, here is[/b]
[b]a[/b][b] clip from that movie. Like many of the other films of[/b]
[b]that[/b][b] period, Stewart played a major league baseball player[/b]
[b]in[/b][b] the Post WWII period who is called back to active duty[/b]
[b]service[/b][b] to join SAC. [/b]
[b]Anyway, whoever sent out this clip found some good pictures[/b]
=0 A [b]of the interiors and exterior of the B-36. [/b]
[b]Remember, "Six Turnin' and Four[/b]
[b]Burnin[/b][b]"".....the six props and the four jets that[/b]
[b]were[/b][b] hung out on the wing to help the production models get[/b]
[b]off[/b][b] the ground. [/b]
[b]The B-36 was designed during WWII when the US thought that[/b]
[b]England would be lost and we would be fighting the Germans[/b]
[b]from[/b][b] the US and Canada. It was designed to take the War[/b]
[b]to[/b][b] European cities from this side of the Atlantic. [/b]
[b]Last of the piston-engined bombers…a behemoth
Worth it for the sound - six piston and four jet engines[/b]
[b]You will also see Jimmy Stewart on the jump seat..... [/b]
[b]Look at all those instruments and engine contr ols at[/b]
[b]the[/b][b] Flight Engineer station. [/b]
[b]Also note that the Co-Pilot controls the Jet engines[/b]
[b]while[/b][b] the Flight Engineer controls the pistons [/b]
