While I was at that "startups" vid, I noticed this one on startup, takeoff, cruise and landing of the B-36:

Not bad; it's from the movie, "Strategic Air Command". Obviously filmed at Ft Worth's Carswell AFB / Convair -- where my F-I-L worked on the B-36 (and many other warplanes)...

Too bad the Hollywood dummies buried the "outboard across the lake hum" of those six big pushers at contrail altitude -- with theme music. :-{

But, you can hear a bit of it on takeoff...

Not too bad, though -- especially seeing all those beautiful beasts lined up along the Carswell taxiways...

Great takeoff sequence with the B-36. Beautiful footage for a movie shot in 1954. Thanks for posting that.

Loved reading that post of yours. Your reminisces of being around those as a kid...well, something just struck a chord with me. I love that I had the opportunity to grow up as a military dependent. If your father was not military, I’ll bet that a lot or nearly all of your friends were military, living that close.

Hope all is well with you, FRiend...:) Best wishes for a Happy Year.
