[Milsurplus] B-36 run-up

[Edward J White]

The XC-99 is now at Air Force Museum it will be redone to look like new. It 
sat for years at Kelly AFB TX. I remember seeing it back in 1966 while going 
to Basic training.

I think there are a couple at least one B-36 at the bone yard in Tucson AZ. 
I saw that in the late 60's when we took a C-97G to the bone yard, I was a 
young flight engineer. Miss the old panel engineers.
Last panel I flew was  the C-141B 1988. All gone now.
