This sucker is huge. I am not sure how pretty it is, but it kept the communists at bay. They had nothing that could compete with SAC.

The USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio has one of these on display indoors. There was a recon version known as FICON that carried a Shooting Star in the bomb bay for recon purposes over the Evil Empire. One was built that carried a nuclear reactor. It was a researching nuclear powered flight.

There is no problem in the human condition that cannot be solved by the proper placement, timing, tamping and fusing of high explosives.

Stop whinging... My feelings about the group in question are none of your business. This is a thread about a rather large airplane. Do you like the airplane?

Think this should have been in the ugly plane thread, defenatly a design of function coming first. But it did it's job of providing a deterrent well but it's not something that's easy on the eye.

We are the Pilgrims, Master
We shall go always a little further,
It may be beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow,
Across that angry or glimmering sea …
