2024 Convair B-36 Peacemaker B36 RB36

We find a B-36 at Castle Air Museum in Atwater California. This plane is ginormous. Ridiculous huge. Ten engines. Six turning and four burning.
10,000 mile range at 50,000 feet. They built 384 of these monsters but now only four remain. It could carry any payload in the USAF and SAC inventories. They even modified one to carry a nuclear reactor. It flew 48 times. This fleet was replaced by the B-52 that is still in service today. We walk around this behemoth and remark at the details. This particular aircraft was a reconnaissance bird that carried a massive camera that had a 28 foot focal length.
