MigBuster 2,861 Posted August 19, 2018 Had no idea the B-36 was ever in a film - what great footage. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,461 Posted August 20, 2018 there's EXCELLENT footage in this film, not only of the Peacemaker, but the Stratojet (B-47). AND the sharp eyed will be looking in the background for all sorts of other eye candy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJakker 875 Posted August 20, 2018 I recorded Strategic Air Command on my DVR about a month ago just because I remembered Wrench talking about the footage in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,861 Posted August 20, 2018 Can't get my head around this aircraft ever existing! let alone flying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,461 Posted August 20, 2018 I remember long ago, (45+ years - I was a teenager) I went to the museum at March Field. They had the "set piece" of the cutaway nose/cockpit of the B-47 used in the last half of the film. I KNOW I took a picture of it, but don't have a clue where it might be. The description plaque said it was used in the movie MB: didn't I post pictures of the B-36 at the Castle AFB museum in the Digital Recon Forum?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,861 Posted August 20, 2018 I have 36 SAC documents and a pilots handbook for the B-36H - but never seen one moving with a load of others parked on the same ramp - some kind of awesome sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
