Did you know that the B-36 had tunnels in the wings,
and that the flight engineer on occasion would perform
in-flight maintenance on the engines? Does anyone know
any performance specs? Speed, takeoff distance, etc.?
Was a B-36 ever stalled? Spun? Minimum stall altitude
must be 5,000 feet or more. I used to fly in WV-2s (radar
equipped Super Connies), and doing stalls in those things
would put you in free fall for a long time.
