:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: can't say more than WOW. Love planes and you've captured a real collection of the best. If you don't mind, I'll add a B17, one of the great workhorses.
One of my favorites. Caught her resting between flights for old vets.

They do talk when an aged crew member or pilot boards them and they share their memories with others aboard. Just imagine the hair-raising tales being heard aboard a historic flight.

Thanx for the great shots of Aluminum Overcast taking off and of her nose art. Guess the nose art was only painted on the pilot's side. The tail numbers match so its the same plane I saw.
Here's a favorite photo. Not my work but love the subjects.
Imagine that 3 B52's carry the bomb load of 100 B17's or more.
B17 and B52

"FIFI" is a B-29 not a B-36. Great shots though.
I know that???? Had "36" on the brain sorry! Now I have to go stand in the corner for an hour---you'd think that someone who spent 30 years in the industry would know better. I have to write on my puter room wall, "Fi-Fi" is a B-29" 1000 times.
Fi-Fi Is A B-29, etc, etc, etc!!!!!!!!

She is a beautiful aircraft. I saw her at CAF museum about 5 years ago. Do you know if there is still a flying B-36? My dad used to work on them at Carswell in '54. I can still remember going on board one at an airshow and riding the trolly along the fuselage! I think I was 6!
