2/ The B-36's immense size is evident next to WW2's biggest bomber, the B-29. The cockpit is rather overwhelming. And look at some of these amazing plans/diagrams... There is so much great info at the Goleta Air and Space Museum: https://t.co/YeYFFeVcVw

#avgeek #aviation #trivia #USAF #B36 - In 1943, Consolidated merged with Vultee Aircraft. The result was named Convair. The Convair B-36 Peacemaker is the largest piston-engine plane ever built. It first flew August 8, 1946! 384 built; 4 left.

#WW2 #avgeek #jets - Lockheed L-133 Starjet; designed by Kelly Johnson 1939-1942; 612 mph; 310-mile range; retractable landing gear, blended wing/body, canards, 4 x 20mm cannon, 2 x L-1000 turbojet engines, etc. The #USAAF passed, thinking it too futuristic. 1/

I was looking for what it looked like fully intact. Do you have such a photo? Roy was a genius. Loved his art. I only learned about him very late. For those of you who don't know him, here is a P-47 by Roy Grinell... His website: https://t.co/FBlEWRMPRc.

Civil War - The #USConstitution is great but imperfect. It was signed by 39 who included slavery but not equal rights, women, etc. It led to the US Civil War. Using #originalintent from 1787 is like running a business, war, etc. w/ 235-year-old marching orders. #FederalistSociety

2/ ... the F-117N thanks to @majestic_air. The F-117N was never built, of course, since Lockheed realized the latest computers would permit it to design something better from a clean sheet.

5/ @BattleshipNJ #WW2 lines ↖️↙️differ from her #ColdWar configuration↗️↘️. In 1968, all her 40mm and 20mm AA guns were removed. In 1982, she received Tomahawks, Harpoons and 4 Phalanx guns; the stern crane and catapults were removed, and she gained a deck for four helos.
