What's this???

Not being a military spotter I was wondering what this wierd looking bird is….did somebody put the wings on the wrong way round? 😀

There was a great movie in the 50’s that heavily featured the Peacemaker. I think it starred Jimmy Stewart ? Anyone remember it ?

Bit of a soppy love story in the end but had tons of great footage of the plane in action. I actually thought it was a deliberate propaganda job on the part of the USAF when I first saw it, as the plane was more or less the star of the film.

Its a Convair B 36 Peacemaker

Also later equiped with four jet engines giving rise to the phrase 6 turning and four burning.

And no, the wing isnt on the wrong way
