So, I was reading about the B-36 'Peacemaker' and it got me thinking... There are only four of these beasts left in the world! That's kinda wild considering how massive and complex they are. With that slogan 'six turning and four burning,' they could hit over 400 mph back in the day.
None of them are airworthy though, which isn't surprising given their size and the sheer complexity of maintaining something like that. I mean, it's one of the biggest planes ever - and definitely the biggest the U.S. military had at the time.
Does anybody know where these remaining B-36s are located? And do you think there's any chance one could ever fly again, or is it just too much of a pipe dream? I guess with all the challenges involved, it's more of a museum piece now. Still, must be quite a sight to see one up close.
Would love to hear your thoughts on these giants of the sky!
