Convair B-36 Peacemaker - full SAC clip

The biggest bomber ever built. And, Quite frankly, the most stunning.

wow! this plane have 6 helix engines, and 4 jet engines! nice mix .

Hey Doc! I just bought a giant scale model of this plane.

James Stewart is in this clip...he was in the USAF during WW2

these clips are from the movie strategic air command

Ya they for take off for extra lift

were the jets used only for take off? I mean that thing must have been loud as hell!

One of my favorite movies. I remember well when those planes would fly over. Had an uncle who worked at Consolidated.

Love that Magnesium Overcast! Awesome plane and great movie!

The B-36 pushed very hard the envelope of what was possible in the 1940s. The result was a very eccentric (pusher config, mixed jet-piston, enormous wings) design.
