Damn, I can't believe they actually got the Vulcan back in the air! Maybe there *is* hope that we'll one day see a B-36 fly again... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

It has long legs while on the ground and looks sweet in the air. Tom

Very LOUD airplane IIRC. David Johnson Damndest thing I ever saw in my life. A bit scary as well. He had the nose well up over 45 degrees entering and it was WELL below 45 degrees on the exit. It was done quite low too. I have to admit that standing there with the Thunderbird solo, we BOTH had a moment there where we looked at each other not actually knowing if he was going to make it. Got to say though.....impressive to say the least :-)) DH -- Dudley Henriques

Uh... What's the fuel burn rate of six 4360's & 4 J47s at T/O power? Dudley?

The stuff hates itself and will return to salt in time.
