- Information
On this day in 1959, the B-36 bomber #52-2220 was landing at Dayton, Ohio, to enter the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This was the last flight of a B-36 'Peacemaker', after only 10 years of service within the almighty Strategic Air Command. This giant of the sky felt like a dinosaur in the era of the jet engine and was quickly replaced by the B-47 and B-52, able to escape the MiGs. In its latest version, it was fitted with 6x 3800hp engines as well as 4x 2tons jet engine to help during take-off.
