A Little Entertainment::::::::::

Postby Dan4th » Mon Dec 14, 2009 6:56 pm

Here's a B-36 Documentary with
(I think...) an Aussi Presenter.

Not bad......











I've posted up parts of this before, but never
the whole thing together.......

Hope you like!

That was just such a Mammoth Aircraft!

I think it still holds the record for bombload...

EDIT: 72,000 to 86,000 lbs. depending on model...
