A few more from AMARG...A former VS-21 S-3B and former USAF B-36 & B-47; the Peacemaker was amazing!

Did they say what they were doing with that S-3? And why do we keep B-36s, other than for museum pieces?

There must be some pretty screwed up O-Plans if one of them involves pulling B-36s out of the boneyard, loading them up and flying them toward the commie hordes.

Those pics are from the PIMA Air Museum. At least, that's where those airplanes were when I was there around Christmas time.

VF-41 Desert Storm. We all wondered why they used Jay Leno as a model

I think someone on here was saying that the guys who crashed the -64 in another famous online video ("think we can make it?" "nope") are still flying. There were some guys that had a wire strike, obviously much different scenario than the above instance, this was Iraq 2005ish and those two guys are still flying.

The guys that hit the tree were (as far as I can see) doing legitimate TERF training, with some obvious headwork issues.

I'd say this is a little more cut and dry, they are obviously flathatting.

Right, all three were @ Pima. There's a shit load of S-3's sitting at AMARG, I'll post what I have early next week. The B-36 looked like it had just come out of the paint shop.

Speaking of a B-36, did any aircraft have more than 10 engines?

Dornier Do X with twelve engines (crewed by perhaps the most underpaid FEs in aviation history), but I can't think of any other examples.

Edit: The Saturn V rockets had eleven engines... well you did use the word "aircraft."

While looking for aircraft with more than 12 engines, I came across the Mil V-12 Homer prototype:

Speaking of Dornier Do, an aviation buff told me about this one a while back.

Was this a joint venture with Powell Motors?
