Boeing B-47E Stratojet

30.4k ChiChiWerx  8.9 years ago

The mainstay of Strategic Air Command's (SAC) nuclear strike force from the mid-1950s and into the 1960s, the B-47 could outrun the fighters of the day and over 2,000 were built to deliver up to two thermonuclear bombs against the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. Thankfully, that never came to be and this one is armed with 4 conventional bombs, but I'll retrofit with nucs if they ever come to be in SimplePlanes! Instructions: Use trim above 15,000' (nose up/slider down) and full nose ...  up/slider down at 185mph / 10% to land. Thanks to @Planesofold for the unbreakable wimgs and @deusalgor for the modded engines! Please comment, upvote if you approve and fly safe!   read more

    Strange, I do not have that problem. I wonder why this would happen and I wonder if anyone else has had this problem...plus I would really like to see your paint scheme.

    @Liquidfox thanks! My dad used to fly these. He loved the fighter-style canopy and high performance. Said it was his favorite jet in the AF.
