Just how big was the B-36?

A little side by side comparison with the B-29, which was no slouch in the size department.

    If any of you are driving north on Hwy 99 around Merced, stop at the old Castle AFB museum – they have an excellent collection including a B36. Every bit as impressive as a B52.

    I was through Castle AFB about 1980 and saw the B29 they were restoring. My grandparents came through Fort Worth sometime in the 50s and stopped by Carswell AFB (where I was stationed for awhile) and got pictures of the B36s lined up. Very impressive pictures from an old Brownie camera.

    It took the Wright Brothers three attempts to fly the distance of the B-36 wingspan.
