    Nice foto, but, by the way, why can't we fly a nice B36 in cfs2, is it because it was never involved in big scale in big conflicts or what? It's a job for the aircraft manufacturers in SOH.

    They have one here. 3rd from the bottom. Not very good in my opinion.

    Those are both great shots for perspective. Looking at the second, since i've never seen a B-17 and B-29 together, i always imagined the B-29 as a much larger plane in comparison. Doesn't seem so in that photo. If you want a good flyable model, the Alpha B-36 is a good conversion candidate.

    Growing up in Southern Oklahoma, I saw many flights of these in the sky. Consolidated's plant was in Ft. Worth, TX.
    Those pusher engines had a very distinctive sound ( a "thud" to me) as the props hammered the air and I can still hear it today.
    Also lots of vapor trails some days crisscrossing the trail of the B-36.
    Guessed it was fighters playing "War" with it.
