The P-36 Peacemaker. I've actually been fortunate enough to see her in the flesh and let me tell you, you cannot grasp just how damn big this aircraft actually is until you experience it!! At Columbus Air and Space Museum we walked around forever, seeing everything knowing this gargantuan plane was there but we just couldn't find it!! Then, we looked up..... the entire museum, every other plane, display, or exibit was UNDER her! It's impossible to take all of her in at once because she stretches over the horizon! Seriously, It's unbelievable just how massive this thing is. Check it out if you have the opportunity. It's something I'll never forget!

⚠️ L'H-20, BOMBARDIERE STRATEGICO STEALTH CINESE, POTREBBE EFFETTUARE IL SUO PRIMO VOLO NEI PROSSIMI MESI - PARTE 2 ⚠️

🇨🇳 Se, per esempio, la Cina padroneggia perfettamente la tecnologia per gli ICBM, avendo prodotto il DF-41, descritto da Military Today come "il più potente missile balistico internazionale (ICBM) sviluppato in Cina, nonché uno dei più letali", nella tecnologia stealth deve ancora fare passi in avanti, sia per quanto riguarda l'occultamento dai radar che per quanto riguarda le proprie difese.

🇺🇸 Nelle basi statunitensi in Corea del Sud, Giappone, Guam e Hawaii sono stati installati sistemi di difesa antiaerea di tipo Patriot, Aegis Ashore e THAAD, che potrebbero minacciare l'H-6N, ed è per questo che il Partito Comunista Cinese fornisce grande importanza al Progetto H-20, perché potrebbe letteralmente cambiare le carte in tavola nella Tecnologia Stealth.

☢️ Secondo un Report del Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists del 2021, l'H-20 mirerebbe a sostituire L'H-6N, portando a compimento la Triade Nucleare Cinese e aumentando esponenzialmente le capacità operative dell'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione.

📈 Nel 2018, RAND - think tank statunitense - ha rilevato che la Cina ha aumentato il numero di sorvoli dei suoi Bombardieri Strategici sul Pacifico e che, una volta pronto l'H-20, si potrebbe assistere ad uno spostamento nell'equilibrio strategico del Pacifico.

🔍 L'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione, afferma un Report di RAND, fornisce grande importanza allo studio delle lacune nelle difese, soprattutto quelle aeree, degli USA e dei suoi alleati nel Pacifico.

🇨🇳|🇹🇼 Una volta presentato l'H-20, gli analisti di RAND pensano che potrebbe iniziare a sorvolare la Zona di Identificazione della Difesa Aerea del regime-fantoccio di Taiwan, e che potrebbe essere impiegato nella strategia e nella tattica del Partito Comunista Cinese per fare pressione sul regime di Tsai Ing-wen.

🇨🇳|🇺🇸 Infine, l'H-20, essendo un totale "game-changer", invierebbe un segnale definitivo agli USA, sottolineando prima la parità, e poi la superiorità, in un altro settore strategico della Scienza e dell'Ingegneria Militare.

⚠️ THE H-20, STEALTH CHINESE STRATEGIC BOMBER, COULD MAKE HIS FIRST FLIGHT IN THE NEXT MONTHS - PART 2 ⚠️

🇨🇳 If, for example, China has mastered ICBM technology perfectly, having produced the DF-41, described by Military Today as "the most powerful international ballistic missile (ICBM) developed in China, as well as one of the deadliest", in stealth technology it has yet to make progress, both in terms of radar concealment and in terms of its own defenses.

🇺🇸 Patriot, Aegis Ashore and THAAD-type anti-aircraft defense systems have been installed at US bases in South Korea, Japan, Guam and Hawaii, which could threaten the H-6N, which is why the Chinese Communist Party provides great importance to Project H-20, because it could literally change the tables in Stealth Technology.

☢️ According to a 2021 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Report, the H-20 would aim to replace the H-6N, completing the Chinese Nuclear Triad and exponentially increasing the operational capabilities of the People's Liberation Army.

📈 In 2018, RAND - the US think tank - found that China increased the number of overflights of its Strategic Bombers over the Pacific and that, once the H-20 is ready, there could be a shift in the strategic balance of the Pacific.

🔍 The People's Liberation Army, says a RAND Report, attaches great importance to studying the gaps in the defenses, especially those in the air, of the US and its allies in the Pacific.

🇨🇳 | 🇹🇼 Once the H-20 is unveiled, RAND analysts think it could start flying over the Taiwanese puppet regime's Air Defense Identification Zone, and that it could be employed in the Party's strategy and tactics Chinese Communist to put pressure on Tsai Ing-wen's regime.

🇨🇳 | 🇺🇸 Finally, the H-20, being a total "game-changer", would send a definitive signal to the USA, emphasizing first parity, and then superiority, in another strategic sector of Science and Engineering Military.

Breaking news: Ukrainian drones successfully destroyed Russian long-range supersonic strategic bombers Tu22M3 at the Russian military airbase Soltsy in the Novgorod region, two aircraft are now on fire, Russia, August 19, 2023. Source: NEWSADER

P.S. The most interesting thing about this event is not that Russian nuclear-capable bombers were destroyed, but that Ukrainian-made drone was able successfully to fly a long distance and accurately destroy the target...It's super good that Ukraine is capable of producing this kind of weapon itself and taking the war deep inside Putler's evil empire...

When my Dad, Richard “Butch” Sheffield, was flying the B-47, he volunteered for a brand new airplane called the B-58. He lost his spot promotion and had to go back to being a lieutenant. He writes about it in a book he left for his family. I am sharing this for the first time today.

I entered the B-58 Combat Crew Training School (CCTS) as a student. The school was about two months long with academics and simulators. I was crewed with Captain Sparks (Sparky), aircraft Commander (AC), and Lt. Patrick, Defense Systems Officer (DSO).

We soon started flying, and I loved the B-58. The bombing and navigation system, plus the cockpit, were excellent. We became combat-ready fast and were one of the first crews checked out in the aircraft, number fourteen, I believe.

CENTRAL EVALUATION GROUP (CEG)

General LeMay wanted all SAC crews to be changeable. Each crew and crew position was to have procedures alike for the aircraft they were flying in. The Central Evaluations Group (CEG) visited each wing and tested and evaluated the crew force to see if all wings performed the same procedures. To pass CEG was a big deal in B-47’s.

The first B-58 crew to go through CEG

The CEG people wanted to get their foot in the door on this new program, so they decided that they should come in and give a check ride to one of the crews. We were selected.

It was a joke; they didn’t know anything about the aircraft, but they went through the motions and checked us; it was a piece of cake; we passed. So, we became the first B-58 crew ever to pass CEG.

-The first pilot quits, stalls over Dallas

About six months after we became combat-ready, we flew a Mach 2 bomb run on Dallas at night. When the run was over, and we went to start our descent from fifty thousand feet, Capt. Sparks pulled back the power but FORGOT to take the altitude hold off.

The aircraft went into a nose-high stall, and we began to drop quickly; the engine’s compressor stalled, and the generators all went offline. We lost all electrical power; I had only a tiny battery-powered light in the cockpit. The only thing I could see was the airspeed and altimeter. I called the pilot, who said the flight controls had locked up.

It took one hundred and fifteen pounds of pressure to override the autopilot. He was a petite guy trying to override it, not knowing that altitude hold was on. It was a wild ride down. We were falling tail first with very little forward motion.

I decided to eject at fifteen thousand feet as we were trained. At about twenty thousand feet, I felt the nose of the aircraft starting to drop, and he said, I think I have got it (he had overridden the autopilot). Once the nose came down, the engines could be re-started, and we recovered at about ten thousand feet; we landed at Carswell. No one said a thing.

The following day, when I went into the Squadron, everyone was saying, did you hear about “Sparky?” I said no. They said he went into the commander (CO) office this morning and threw his wings on his desk, and said, “I quit!” He then went around the Squadron bad-mouthing the B-58 and telling the other crews they should quit the program, too, because the aircraft was unsafe; the CO told him to get out.

Someone recently asked if I had any B-58 stories, so I saved this beautiful picture of a B-58 and found the story in my dad‘s book. Dad stayed with the B-58s until he was hired away to the SR 71 program in 1964. He had to pass the astronaut physical at Brooks, Air Force Base, Texas and then he arrived at Beale Air Force Base in 1965.~Linda Sheffield
