Cheesy music, but it has its intended effect. Impressive machine

Harry Morgan is a beast. The B-36 and Jimmy Stewart are pretty good too.
Whoever did that formation takeoff to get footage of the gear coming up did a great job too.

When taken as a whole, it’s a pretty bad movie. But the aerial shots of the B-36 are stunning, and it’s worth watching just for that. In a similar vein, there is Bombers B-52. It’s an even cheesier film, but it’s got some great footage of the early Buffs. Watch for the KC-97 in this clip. You can rent the whole movie on YouTube.
