That looks like two B-29's the nacelles are not long enough on either to be a B-50
ReplyDeleteUSAF Serial 47-151: The tail number of a famous Boeing RB-50G Superfortress (nicknamed Caribbean Queen) which was operated by the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing.
DeleteAgreed. B-50 had a taller tail too. XB-38 designation is wrong also. That looks to be a B-17G. Here is the XB-38--

I'm not sure what the second aircraft is but it's not a Lockheed Lodestar which has a twin tail similar to a P38 Lightning.

Lockheed Ventura maybe?
DeleteThe point of this photo is how gigantic the B36 was.
ReplyDeleteCool image. Realistic in terms of scale I believe. AI Generated though. (OK... my last comment on AI women and photos in general. We have reached the point that anything we look at may be AI so no need to point it out any more.... Speaking for myself.)
ReplyDeleteThank you. We appreciate you not annoying everyone with your AI speculations.
DeleteA closer analysis of the visual details and online discussions reveals that this is actually an AI-generated image. While it convincingly mimics a vintage overhead photograph, several historical anomalies and digital artifacts give it away:
ReplyDeleteIn later years there was a small outdoor aviation on the south side of the main runway, Thhey had a B-58, S Navy Neptune, a F-111 bomber that was used in wing stress test and a CH-34 Helicopter best I remember. There was a 28 Cylinder radial engine on a stand plus several other things that I can't remember now as that i was about 36 years ago. The B-36 was later reclaimed by the Air Force and taken to the Pima The Pima Air & Space Museum, located in Tucson, Arizona and underwent a full restoration although it is not flyable because the the main wing spars being cut in have for transportation. I am still made at Fort Worth for letting that history get away and I believe they later regretted it too. It is what it Is!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was about ten, Norton AFB had an airshow and I remember dozens of different planes flying over the city for hours.
