52-2827 (cn 383) A very nicely restored and most impressive aircraft on display at the Pima Air Museum... more than worth braving 110-degree heat to view and photograph! |

52-2827 (cn 383) Photographed in the restoration compound of the Pima Air & Space Museum. It is apparent that the guys working on her are really making progress now. This was the first time for me to see a Peacemaker and it will be a magnificent aircraft when finished. |

52-2220 (cn 361) Arguably the "biggest stick" that SAC ever possessed, the mighty "Peacemaker" earned it's name well in the 1950s. |

52-2827 (cn 383) The absurd size of the B-36 really makes you appreciate the engineering that went into it. Awaiting restoration. [Nikon D200] |

52-2827 (cn 383) This was the last B-36 to be built (8/14/1954) and the last one in service when retired (2/12/1959). The Peacemaker was the largest piston-powered plane ever built and the first long range bomber capable of dropping a nuclear bomb. Named "City of Fort Worth" after the production plant's location, this one is undergoing restoration. |
