N22827 —

Thanks Michael. I hadn't seen a picture of this aircraft when it was in Fort Worth. If I might add some further background info, the B-36J was built by Convair and known as the Peacemaker. This one is named the "City of Fort Worth." It was delivered to the USAF in 1954, but by 1959 it was transferred to the USAF Museum in Fort Worth, TX and put on static display. In 1992, it was moved to a Lockheed-Martin facility in Fort Worth for restoration, then loan transferred to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ in 2005. (Serial Number: 52-2827) Its current markings are of the 95th Bomb Wing, Biggs AFB, El Paso, Texas. "The B-36 is the largest and the last piston engine powered bomber produced by the United States." (Quote from the "The Pima Air & Space Museum" collection book, copyright 2008, The Arizona Aerospace Foundation.) I have more pictures of this aircraft posted on FlightAware under my account name: byingtongh
Thanks again.
