[Milsurplus] B-36 run-up

[Clarence M. Owens]

I would love to have a scan of that document!  I remember B-36 fly-overs of
the air shows in Niagara Falls back in the 50's and have been in utter awe
of the B-36 when visiting the Air Force Museum.  What a beast!  Also, a
unique sound, unlike any other plane I have heard pass overhead.

Have a 14 page flight-line check-list that a bro-in-law* supplied

Seems non-coms jumped into those things on scramble & got

           SIX TURNING -  FOUR  BURNING

before the flight crews.  Those guys had to suit up which was a
long process

So if there's interest, I'll scan.


* this neat guy, bless his heart, has trouble w. which end of a spark plug
  goes in the hole.  And manual is a testimony to reducing huge tech
  assignments to 'regular guys.'  This tabA-slotB biz once a cornerstone
  of US' mfg. success.
