Corny, but I love all of the old SAC scenes.

Yes, a great movie. Good cast, too.

That movie showed the Soviets we could kick their butts. They took notice.

My Dad was a B-36 crew member from 1951 to 1955. His B-36 Peacemaker crew was stationed in Texas at that time. I saw the movie a few times. They called them "six turning, four burning". They were larger than B-52's. They scared the living daylights out of Russians with the bomb load. The Russians had a re-engineered B-29 rip off at the time.

Yes, that movie is a treasure, if only for the B-36 footage.
