BobCCK Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The B-36J was a state of the art airplane in its day. The Engineer was responsible for starting, maintaining and shutting down the 6 Radial Engines and 4 Jet Engines required to make it fly and mission completed. No modern "Fly by Wire" or "Computer controlled Aircraft" involved here. Just straight old manpower, brainpower and the guts to get it done. This is absolutely mind boggling to think about. http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/media/062/B-36J%20Engineer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDizzle Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Some of those gauges look familiar, but there sure are a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
