[ARC5] OT: B-36 Nuke Article

[Jay Coward]

Growing up in N.J. we would hear and see the Navy blimps on the horizon as they made their approach to Lakehurst N.A.S. At our summer place the B-36's would fly over at night and get every window pane and every piece of Mom's china vibrating at some frequency. I've always loved airplanes but that sound was un-nerving to a little kid.

I remember a few flyovers of B-36s here. No other aircraft ever 
sounded like that. Hard to describe the low frequency beating. Even one 
was rather frightening and a formation would have shaken everything. 
Must have been around the mid 1950s. I found a recording on the web 
somewhere but it was evidently from the movie "Strategic Air Command" 
and gives only a suggestion of what the real thing was like.
