Re: "Strategic Air Command"
A bizarre "movie" otherwise, but yes, wonderful documentary of the B-36. I wish one of those had been preserved in flying condition.

Turner Classic Movies - It's a great flick, the "story" part is a little hokey, but the flying parts are outstanding!
Re: "Strategic Air Command"
And if you find yourself awake at 4AM Sunday morning check out "Task Force" on TCM. 1949 movie detailing a Navy pilot (Gary Cooper) proving the value of aircraft carriers starting in 1922. Lots of great archival footage instead of cheesy(for that time) special effects.
Re: "Strategic Air Command"
I have always enjoyed this classic, while I am primarily interested in commercial aviation and not military, the quality of the scenes of these classic Bombers always made it fun to watch. Also a fair amount of the on the ground scenes take place at, and where actually filmed at MacDill AFB in my native Tampa, Florida.
For those who have never seen this one this film gets a big thumbs up from LGA777 !
