Atwater CA Castle Air Museum RB-36H (#0032)

B-36 Peacemaker, in service from 1946 until replaced by the B-52, with the last one ending service in 1959. With 6 prop engines and 4 jet engines, a huge plane central to US nuclear capability during its time. I was glad that the museum was relatively empty that day, seeing these massive planes (including the B-52) was a sobering reminder of the closeness we have come to obliterating humankind through use of the Peacemaker.
