I was stationed at Kelly AFB, Tx in...umm... 1954 at an intelligence
outfit on a hill just above the start of the runway. Used to watch
the B-36s landing They would touch down just past our location, pop
chutes and roll for what seemed forever. Dunno how long that runway
was but they would disappear over a slight rise in the middle of it
still rolling with the chutes still out.

That one was known as "The Aluminum Overcast" and also "a collection
of parts flying in loose formation". The only modern bomber that
never saw action.

We used to live under one of the landing patterns to Stuart Airforce Base. You
want see a slow bird fly, the C5A looks like it's almost stopped in mid air.
It's still going a couple of hundred MPH, but it's huge.
