[ARC5] B-36J Radio Operator Position

[Sandy Blaize]

I was sent to "Basic" at Lackland AFB right next to Kelly AFB where B-36's 
and sometimes the two XC-99's were based and heard them outside the fence 
taking off many a time.  Also many more times when the propellor beat at 
high altitude was a very distinct sound almost like recordings of Zeppelin 
engines running.  A low pitched unique sound.  The only aircraft I ever 
heard and mistook at times for a high flying B-36 was the C-124.  But the 
reverberation that used to happen an inside room of a house was not as 
strong as the B-36 reverb which sometimes seemed to rattle things in the 
house!

Very unique sound indeed.  The only time I heard the jet engines was when 
they were taking off at Kelly, but not during a flyover at high altitudes.

73,
Sandy W5TVW

How many people here have actually heard a B-36 close up?

I have.
