Good video. That plane sure ate a lot of runway to get airborne.

My dad really liked that plane for some reason and I still have a model of it up in a closet that we never got the chance to put together.
That video with Jimmy Stewart was neat the was a great man and my Grandfather’s bombing commander in WW 2 and was held in high esteem by his men.

My dad said that the tube that runs from the front compartment to the back compartment had a conveyor to take you thru.

Carswell AFB has a 12,000 ft runway and it took the better part of it.

When we used to fish lake worth at the end of the runway it was like you could reach out and touch them. 🇺🇸
