Open Aircraft Day-Convair B-36J Peacemaker

DAYTON, Ohio -- A museum visitor viewing inside the Convair B-36J Peacemaker during the open aircraft day on Aug. 20, 2021 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Although never used in combat, the B-36 was a major deterrent to enemy aggression. Making the last B-36 flight ever, the aircraft on display flew to the museum from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on April 30, 1959. (U.S. Air Force photo by Ty Greenlees)
