• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hey guys.

I saw this picture and thought I'd post it. Comment at will...
 
Nice foto, but, by the way, why can't we fly a nice B36 in cfs2, is it because it was never involved in big scale in big conflicts or what? It's a job for the aircraft manufacturers in SOH.:wavey:

Those are both great shots for perspective. Looking at the second, since i've never seen a B-17 and B-29 together, i always imagined the B-29 as a much larger plane in comparison. Doesn't seem so in that photo. If you want a good flyable model, the Alpha B-36 is a good conversion candidate.

Growing up in Southern Oklahoma, I saw many flights of these in the sky. Consolidated's plant was in Ft. Worth, TX.
Those pusher engines had a very distinctive sound ( a "thud" to me) as the props hammered the air and I can still hear it today.
Also lots of vapor trails some days crisscrossing the trail of the B-36.
Guessed it was fighters playing "War" with it.
