Used to carry tourists to Rottnest Island off the coast of Perth. Flights stopped when Ansons were barred from carrying passengers or flying over water. After a failed attempt to sell VH-WAB to the Dutch air force in Dutch New Guinea, it was donated to a farming friend of Jimmy Woods as a play thing for children. By 1969 it was derelict and by 1974 had been removed to the tip. Photo from: State Library of Western Australia

When this photo was taken at the National Air Show in Philadelphia in Septermber 1955, I was in flight training at Keesler AFB, MS to become an ECM Operator in SAC... on the RB-36H! It's possible that I later flew on this very aircraft as it was once in our squadron at Ellsworth AFB, SD. In 1957 it was put on display at Chanute AFB, IL and in 1991 was transported in pieces by rail to the Castle Air Museum, CA. Once restored it placed on display there, where it remains today. Of the 4 surviving B-36s, this is the only RB model.

The second of two prototypes, this Piasecki YH-16A Transporter broke apart in mid-air on 5 January 1956, when the rear rotor shaft failed, allowing the blades to desynchronize and wobble into the plane of those of the forward rotor. Although the cause of the failure was determined not to be a design defect the program was scrapped.

This sole example flew cargo for the USAF from 1950 to 1957 before being retired. Seen on display at the National Air Show in Philadelphia. The SAAMA logo on the fin refers to San Antonio Air Materiel Area. Comparing this view to the one taken 1 year earlier shows more weathering, stripes at the tip of the tail and no red on the prop spinners.
