Making the last B-36 flight ever, this awesome aircraft flew to the museum from Davis-Monthan AFB in April 1959. I remember being mightily impressed by it during my first visit to the USAFM in 1973, but also disappointed that it was effectively impossible to photograph. Fast forward 51 years and this was the outcome This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
