The collapsing tunnels idea is interesting. : : The two bombs were flown by the B-36 from Fort Worth to the bombing range at Muroc AFB, where the first bomb was released at 35,000 feet. Then Dillon took the plane to 40,000 feet, where the second one was dropped. The B-36 made the round trip nonstop, a flight of about 2900 miles. The official announcement proclaimed it “a normal test flight.”21 : : ~ http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/aureview/1967/mar-apr/coker.html Edited January 15, 2010 by Lexx_Luthor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
