Dio topic for Cold War a/c modelers!
Posted by Brumbles on Saturday, May 5, 2007 2:23 PM

On September 1, 1952, a tornado hit the Carswell AFB in Texas.  On the ground were about a hundred Convair B-36's... and 83 were damaged or destroyed, flung about the tarmac like... model planes.  (Well, not really, but pushed around and smushed together forcefully). 

 

The book Magnesium Overcast, by Dennis R. Jenkins (Specialty Press, North Branch, MN: 2002) has an entire chapter about this disaster, with lots of pics. 

 

Just a thought! 

 

Did I mention this hypothetical dio would have to be in some tiny scale, like 1/144th? Those Peacemakers are huge aircraft!
