Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" is a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B-36 was capable of intercontinental flight without refuelling.
Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons deliveryStrategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress beginning in 1955. All but five examples were scrapped.
Ag1-start jet engines.

why the long face?
Well, made it 8 miles with 3 engines at 3,000 ft after taking out two P-51 Mustangs with the tail gunner
@AzurLane1 they were joking about all the engines being on fire
@FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFair it’s six turning four burning
Any like Convair B-36 with XB-85 goblin
Why engines be on fire
@Shippy456 they flew " mock combat missions" i believe.
he is one long boi
disclamer- plane does start with engines on fire
@Shippy456 No
Good lord. Have any of them ever seen combat?
@Shippy456 not only real, but even serial. 384 was built.
Holy crap this thing was real?!?
@temporaryaccount thanks, I'll try
"Six Burning Four Burning"
@OC3LOT1142 Thank you for your support! 😁👍
I really love this plane! Nice work!
s-s-silver? Am I seeing this right?!!!!??!??!!!!
@KferoxL
That's golden 👌 😂
@JohnnyBoythePilot also say: "two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking, and two more unaccounted for" 😀
@Strikefighter04
I was thinking of that saying "6 turning 4 burning" (Peacemaker has 6 piston engines and 4 turbojet engines).
It's funny that the first thumbnail is of it going to crash. Just like the real thing!
That's a spicy meataball
Nice!
@Trainzo Thank you😄
