Visited the US Air Force Museum, joined a long line of people to see the cockpit of a B-36J Peacemaker bomber. The plane was developed during WW2, but was not used during the war. After the war though it was the US heavy bomber during the 1950's. It was ultimately replaced by the B-52. The plane was powered by six turboprop engines and later 4 jet engines were added on giving it a total of 10 engines! It was actually bigger than a B-52 but the all jet B-52 is still (as of this date) in service. This was an amazing experience and enjoyed it a great deal. Always remarkable things at the Air Force Museum!
