What I would give, to see a real, full sized B-36 flying overhead, and doing
a few takeoffs and landings and fly-bys, just one time!

When I was a 6-year old Air Force brat on Williams AFB ca. 1953, some B-36s
went overhead at low altitude and were so loud I peed my pants. The sound was
so overwhelming I didn't even realize what had happened until I went back in
the house.

As you get older, peeing your pants might recur. Without the
B-17 to trigger it.

Two old guys are sitting on a park bench. One is complaining
long and loudly about his aches and pains and dysfunctional body
parts; the other finally says, "I feel like a newborn babe."
"Huh!" says the complainer. "How's that?"
"Well, says the other, "No hair, no teeth, and I think I just
wet my pants."

I have the cylinder from an IO-520 here that had been

out of sight during detonation, as do CHTs.

That sounds like preignition, not detonation. Detonation is rarly fatal
to an engine.
